Maybe having more than one life is the answer =D One can be sleeping while the other is awake! Sorry for the slowness.

She supposed he was right. Her only example from the past had been her slightly chaotic, aggressive birth-pack. There, fighting wasn't a matter for specialists. Everybody had to handle themselves, if they were in full healthy, and preferably others as well. Nothing was predictable. A healer might find themselves in need of healing, a warrior of protection. Caspa had no great talents at fighting, so she'd always trained hard with her brothers, purely to get up to the same level as everybody else. Something else drove her, too, something she didn't really understand. It was just there, the desire to be strong and capable of repelling and instigating attacks. However, even looking with envy at Noss' physique she had no desire to sign her life away to the way of blood. There was always blood, but there were other things too that she hadn't explored yet. Maybe she would have to settle for the halfway house of using her meagre strength in intelligent ways. With specimens like this wolf as part of her pack's protection, with any luck, even that wouldn't be necessary in the short-term. Perhaps when next she did call on her physical abilities, she would have found her own ways to develop and improve them. "Did you choose the path, or did it choose you?" she wondered aloud. It was just possible it was too late for her altogether, if the blood had not so far come calling. She'd never been in a real fight. |
