So... I have decided. I shall take the path of a court artist. I plan on leaving the harem as soon Stella takes her wedding vows.
Patience will become the new valide. Until then, we have about four weeks to teach her how to run the harem. She's a brilliant woman, with a lot of wonderful ideas. I am sure she will do just fine. If only, she would not place so much focus on training. A few girls have even stopped visiting because they worry about being stuck in a class. Not that I blame them... I find teaching lessons a horrid bore... I can't imagine how it is to sit through a class. Ah, but I digress... as soon as Patience learns that there is more to harem life then training, I am sure she will be well on her way to being a wonderful Valide.
Even thought I have chosen my path, the ocean still calls to me. There are times when I still feel like leaving the palace all together... the merfolk have no official clan, and they lack a true leader. Now, I am not audacious enough to think I can lead the entire group... I believe I have enough skill to run a clan at least. Maybe then, I can be with a group of people who really accepts me for who I am.... instead of the people of Ireem's court... who expect me to act a certain way... conform...
I prayed to Kaiousei, god of seas... he granted my wish. My mer powers were sealed away in a charm... all so I could be human to fit into the court. Maybe... maybe after a year of artistic study, I will return to the sea?
