Maea
You think killing is hard?
Try healing something. That is hard.

For a second time her arm was caught up in the water, sending cold shivers across her skin. Hissing in frustration Maea summoned fire right against the skin this time, attempting to burn the moisture off from the inside. It was a reckless move, as the subsequent explosion did far more than heat the water; it battered her skin and tore at the fabric of her dress - which fortunately absorbed most of the damage, though not all.
It was hard to think like this. Staggering back and clutching her battered arm, she scowled at the demigod, not sure where he was going with this. The different perspectives... sure, she could sort of see that one. Applying it to the Grounds new citizens and to other opppsitions made sense, and she accepted that she was narrow minded in a lot of areas - some of which simply came down to personal preference.
But the rest? "Do you regret choosing to fight for us?" she asked - because that's what it sounded like. "Are you saying you shouldn't have picked a side at all? I don't see how that would have made any difference. Would Nate.... forgive me, but would doing nothing really have kept Nate alive?" He'd made his own choices after all - if she recalled correctly, he could also have made the choice to hide and stay safe instead.

You can break something in two seconds
But it can take forever to fix it
