Ashi watched her father’s display with great interest. Despite all the lies her mother had told her, she had been right about one thing; he was immensely powerful. When she was younger, this fact always made her feel safe. Her father could always protect her from any threat, and used his powers of intimidation to make sure his daughters were treated well.
