Eleanor's POV:
'I have been too short-sighted...'
Eleanor, in the midst of living her dream love life, seemed to have forgotten the fact that nothing in life ever came easy to her. She had struggled all her life to reach where she is. She had lost sometimes but, overall, she had won a lot.
She was gifted, and she used that to grow stronger than anyone in her generation. She took up the one weapon in her time that wasn't a main focus for anyone, yet she picked it up. Her soul yearned for it, and once she did, she took her weapon to the top of the world. After reaching there, she stopped. No, it would be more accurate to say that the desire that pushed her was snuffed out somewhere along her path.
