Rachel sat on the edge of her bed, reflecting over the nights events. She glanced over at her armor and weapon lying against the far wall where she had thrown them after she left the tavern. They had come out victorious that night. The Court of Truth was now back in the hands of the citizens of Yew, and away from the foul orcs. It had been a hard battle, with a few casualties on their side, but they had won. Or had they?

Rachel glanced out the window at the ocean and realized that she was not as excited about tonights victory as everyone else had been. She knew she must have seemed a complete stranger at the celebration afterwards, but for some reason, she just could not find it in her to be happy. Deep down, she knew they were doing good, but being in the Court had brought back memories of the trial of Horace Telver. Things had changed a lot since then. The Legion was growing, and word was getting out about the help needed for the citizens of Yew. Yet, Rachel just could not find the means to be happy. She felt distanced lately from everyone. Valatin, her own husband. Vaen, her best friend and close to being a brother that she'd never had. Not to mention the rest of the Legion. Everyday though, she put on her normal face and went about her business. Making sure the Golden Scales had enough drinks and food, that the members were happy with the Legion, and everything else she could find to keep herself busy. It just didn't seem like it was enough though anymore. There was something missing.

Rachel shook her head, and looked around the room. She knew she had come far over the last few months, and that she had a lot farther to go. She just did not know if she could go on feeling this way though. Something had to change. She no longer felt like she was apart of these people's lives anymore. Slowly, she laid down on her bed and closed her eyes.

"Maybe tomorrow would be a better day", she thought.
