Bab 203: The Aftermath

-----

Everything had crumbled apart in an instant in front of my eyes, my parents and Aquarina's parents all were planning to leave but Ninhursag appeared, she said she heard everything and then…

And then… things went badly. She started discussing with everyone, more and more intensively and louder, getting angry to the point she started to insult everyone, she even called my mother with a slur, that really hurt me more than she thought! How can she call my race of elves as "knife ears"? That's… I never thought she would say such a thing to us.

It seems she had a lot of resentment saved up, a lot of anger and also… in her eyes, I was able to see her sorrow, so much sadness… it felt as if my entire heart was melting away by just looking at her.

Why was she showing such weakness? Masking it all through insults and angered roars, but deep down, it felt as if she was slowly fragmenting into pieces, filled with hate and resentment over everything.
