#sisters

We are who we choose to be, and we don’t owe anyone our pain.

Diyoza is still getting used to the fact that her daughter is 25. Octavia loves being the Cool Aunt now that Hope has seen her fight moves in action. Hope tells too many stories of the years they missed, leaving them all misty-eyed. Echo is having trouble focusing on her tomatoes again, but day by day, she is finding the peace and healing that the Garden had granted her sisters. She knows their peace won’t be interrupted again - as both Bardo and Sanctum learned, no one messes with these four warrior women if they know what’s good for them.

We found each other in a cage, whatever happens, I know we'll find each other again.

I’ve been fighting to survive all my life. I was eight... when Queen Nia’s army took our land. My father resisted. They killed him while my mother hid with me in the cellar. “If you cry, they’ll hear you,” she said. So I didn’t. Best way to get rats out of their hole: Start a fire. I remember the way it smelled. But... the smoke... her hair... When Nia heard what happened, she executed the men who did it, had me brought to Troy, and started my training.
