I'd make an excuse for not updating, but I don't have any good excuses and I suck at them. Also, I kinda had a bit of writer's block.

She loved Rasler dearly.
She had been ecstatic when they were to be married. Even if some would look upon the marriage as something political, all that mattered was the love she and Rasler shared and the blessings of all around them.
It had been devastating when he had been killed. She knew it was because he wanted to protect her kingdom and get revenge for the death of his father. It had been even more devastating when her father had been assassinated, by BASCH of all people, during the peace-treaty for Dalmasca.
Her death had been faked and for the two years she had been proclaimed dead, she trained for revenge against the Archadian Empire. She would get her revenge for the sake of the people of Dalmasca, the death of her father and the death of her beloved Rasler.
Her capture during a resistance movement had been terrible. She had almost escaped, but was still caught by the Archadians. It had surprised her a bit when she had been rescued by Vaan and the others and learning of the power that the Dusk Shard held made her realize that it was the power she needed for her cause.
As she traveled with them, she found something inside her changing. She was learning things from her companions and it made her think of her cause a bit more hesitantly.
Because Ashe fought for the revenge of her loved ones and the injustice that was brought upon her people by the Archadian Empire, but maybe it was time to fight for something else.
AN: I feel so out of touch right now. It took me this long just to finish this and put it out that I'm a bit ashamed. If this wasn't satisfactory, then I'm terribly sorry and I'll go and replace it sometime later. It was all I could do after so long.
