After returning home that day, Violet felt a wave of regret. How could someone like her, with such a temper, take on apprentices? Being tied down in that way felt stifling, especially since she was younger than them. It wasn’t that she couldn’t command respect–it just seemed unnecessary.

Wasn’t it enough to teach them a few things and be known as a sage?
