HLP - Chapter 52
Added 2023-02-06 01:58:38 +0000 UTCThis book is now published on KU. KU has rules requiring no more than 10% of a book to be available by other means. Due to this restriction, I have removed this chapter.

I'm sorry if this inconveniences you in any way. I am only doing this so I can remain in the KU program.
Thanks for your understanding.

I will just say that if this is the case, that it is an additional arc that Hamma can experience in the future as she understands herself better and what drives her actions. I love the thought you put into this. Thank you very much BoD!

2023-02-06 06:38:55 +0000 UTCI think BRB was trying to show with Hamma having a really large wisdom level and a relatively small intelligence stat when come pared it was a lot of strict emotionless logic Let’s look at it this way her father a loved one went on a mission and for more then 20 years never returned. Now Ruwen is gone not where he is supposed to be the crows can’t find him he promised not to do anything dangerous but he is a danger magnet eventually one time he might not come back… Does she play lonely sailor’s wife staring out to the sea for a ship and husband that will never come home? Or does she kindle that flame of faith in his ability to come back to her one more time every time?

2023-02-06 05:35:07 +0000 UTCMaybe I am splitting hairs, but I see a fear of loss being different from a fear of abandonment. As a god, a fear of loss would drive the individual to be isolated and unwilling to form strong attachments. That doesn't match Hamma. A fear of abandonment would cause the god to develop and maintain relationships that would end when the god decides it. If you think of it as reading a book, a fear of loss would prevent the individual from reading the book for fear of developing strong emotional attachment towards the characters. A fear of abandonment would allow the person to start the book but would have the person react harshly if an outside source causes the book to end early, such as spoilers or an uncontrolled event such as the book being lost in a fire. It is that need for control that makes it so different because the actions and the intentions behind those actions are so different.

2023-02-06 02:38:57 +0000 UTCThis is going to be a long one because it gets my goat when personal issues are conflated to lead a character to the wrong decision. Hamma has an intense fear of abandonment, not of loss. If it was of loss she would make choices that would be focused on maintenance of what she currently has and not losing things. Instead, her choices focus on preventing other people from taking things away from her. This, added with her father disappearing at a young age created a scar that has not been addressed or even really begun healing. Hamma's actions tell of a person who is willing to loose as long as she chooses to loose. She is unwilling to let others make that choice for her, because when she was young that choice was made for her by her deity. It is why she was willing to sacrifice herself for Ruwen and be at peace with that but rage at him when he does the same. It is why she hates the feeling every time someone dies for her even when she's aware they will come back. Because while she KNOWS he isn't abandoning her, that isn't how it FEELS.
