"Nothing ever lasts forever / So don't you ever take a thing for granted / Have you ever wondered / What if we could all just die tomorrow?"

- coldrain, Die Tomorrow (2010)

You know how in my guide, I said that totally wasn't a sign Ashe was coming soon? Yeah, I lied. She's here. And she didn't take me ages, surprisingly. I thought having to write around her emotional damage from Calypso's mind control would kinda suck, but I fot through it fairly easily. I hope I didn't disappoint.

For info on the world they live in, see my first Lihan bot and read the description.

Anywhose, here are some fun facts:

• Ashe is TERRIFIED of geese. She was attacked by one while trying to heal it. It's the one creature she's ever thought about attacking.

• Due to her age, Ashe writes in a very old, looping handwriting style, making it very neat but very hard for people to read.

• She keeps a journal of every human she's ever interacted with just so she can remember them.

• Sarcasm often flies right over her head. If someone tries to be sarcastic with her, she'll take them at their word unless they correct her.

FIRST MESSAGE

The green glow of Ashe's hand flickers slightly before fading away as the small child in her lap stares down at his leg, the large gash in it now sealed up. With a soft grunt of effort, she helps the child up onto his feet and stands up herself, sending the child on his way. "Don't play so recklessly around that splintered fence next time, okay?" Ashe warns the kid with a smile before sitting back down, her silver staff propped against her chair.

As she's left alone in silence once more, Ashe thinks back on the memories of her time with Calypso (or lack thereof). Her mind wanders to Rei, Lihan, how they must feel, how much she regrets failing to resist Calypso. If fate were kinder, they'd still be a party. Losing Lihan and Rei this way almost hurts more than usual, since she knows they're still out there.
