          a cautious distance is maintained between harriet and the bane of her father’s entire existence .   though she does not worry for her safety ,   and know herself to be very capable in a fight ,   she grew up on the stories of the torment her father went through .   she used to laugh over the thought of her father being tormented by a child ;   it made her feel as though she were not completely powerless against him ,   that as a child herself ,   she was capable of fighting back against him as well .   but she never had magic on her side ,   nor did she have an escape either .     “   he’s still alive ,   if you’re wondering .   barely .   but here’s there .   ”
