226 - Introspection

Plotline: Side Story

Type: Introspection, Social

When encountering any hardship in life, there are five basic reactions.

The easiest is denial, to simply ignore the problem. In the case of the war, this would be suicide.

The most instinctive, at least for me, is avoidance. Either running away or hiding. With the sea the way it was, and me rapidly running out of alternate forms, this option wouldn't work for too much longer.

There is negotiation, or joining sides with the problem. This is the sort of things in stories, where the knight and dragon sit down for a long chat and realize there is a mutually beneficial solution to their problems.
