𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐊𝐈𝐃'𝐒 𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐍'𝐓 𝐀𝐋𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓, 𝕶elaya Visha was no heroine, and let her explain why. For starters, A heroine puts her heart in front of the innocents, planting her feet in the ground, and looking the enemy dead in the eye to protect any and all individuals, no matter what becomes of her own flesh.

Claw at her flesh, Destroy her bones, Drown her with her own blood, but watch as the heroine stands—even while on the brink of death, she'd selflessly come undone—even if it led to the heartache of others specifically those who waited for her soundly return home.

See, this is why Kelaya is no heroine. Shove a gun in her hands and tell her to choose between her brother and a random stranger . . . and she wouldn't so much as blink.

The heroine, however, would've fought and struggled, would've cried for the innocent soul, and would have pleaded to its maker to lend her its strength, so much so that the heroine would search through the depths of the ocean—every grain of salt in the water, to find a solution to her problem.

But Kelaya Visha was not a heroine, and this proved it. She would shed no tears for the soul, she would neither fight nor struggle, and she most certainly wouldn't plead to the gods above for strength. She'd merely press the trigger finger and go about her day knowing that she saved someone close to her heart.

Not once giving a damn about that innocent soul.

However, that never meant that the Visha family had no heroes—they did, in the form of the oldest, Caspen Visha. The same individual who'd put his life on the line for 'humanity' or whatever the hell kind of crap he was spewing. He was a hero, he'd let the enemy burn his flesh and spew his blood all in the name of innocence . . . even if it left his daughter's without a father, and left his siblings without a brother.
