Megara walked directionlessly into the forest. Walked, not ran. She didn't run when she was emotional. She didn't run blindly. Yet another lesson beaten mercilessly into her head. Her surroundings ...

I didn't mean to....I didn't know... Didn't mean to get involved. Didn't know Megara was a killer. Didn't mean to die. Didn't know Megara would kill her. She got to ...

Megara Megara was startled awake. The first thing she noticed was the scent of flowers. Out of place and persistent in its wrongness around her, and then she opened her ...

Megara could understand that, though perhaps not in the same way. People didn't feel like people at the end of her blade, in the path of her arrow, as the ...
