Prompt: Insanity
At several different times in her life, Rose faced obstacles that seemed completely insurmountable. Each time it happened she was positive that she would never come up against anything harder than whatever hurdle it was that stood in her way. Again and again, she was proved wrong, because every time she managed to clear up one predicament, something even more difficult sprang up in its place. Still, she managed to conquer them all, even when it came to finding a way to bring the man she loved back from the dead.
Now, looking back, she sees how wrong she was all those times before. Yes, those things were all horrible, but compared to the latest issue she faces—one that will never, ever go away—all those other things seem almost easy. Because nothing in the world could be more difficult than watching someone you love suffer; to have to standby, unable to fight the battle on their behalf no matter how hard you might want to. All she can do is try her best to keep her best friend calm—something that is next to impossible when the girl in question happens to be a queen and faced with stressful situations on a daily basis.
Attempting to help Lissa fend off the insanity that spirit leaves in its wake—without the bond—really is the hardest thing she's ever done. She just hopes and prays that this time—like all the times in the past—luck is on her side.
