The Matron

Elder Shu continued to talk. 

"Tragedy is a trial of the greatest caliber, it can serve to break and crush your very spirit. To fail this trial is to become blinded by a veil of your own sorrow, a veil that which you may not even notice. That sorrow become disillusionment, misery, a lifetime of pain. But to succeed, is to be destroyed and reformed, to replace what was lost. It is to see the veil and tear it away."

His head looked down for a moment before looking at Ming Yue, who quietly listened. 

"I will not ask you of your past nor will I guide you through this trial. I can only say that you walk a fine line between ripping that veil or letting it blind you."

Once hearing his words, she was silent, mulling over what Elder Shu said. 

"A fine line..." she muttered.
