April Rain, by Delain | Chapter 20 | Bria encourages Alísa. So much has gone wrong, but though it isn't easy, she is where she is meant to be. "Fortune" (or, rather, the Maker and His plan) "smiles on you…Dig that hole deeper…Create your own fate." |
Into The Flood, by Anaria | Chapter 21 | Alísa sees the path she needs to take, going to honor the fallen slayers even though the rest of the village will not. The first step in being the leader she is, rather than the leaders she's thought she had to be like. |
