( a huff of air. a laugh, maybe. the ghost of one. )
I have an anchor-shard, like you. ( that nasty green light, probably in inej's hand like most of them are, a gift of the rift that she'd come through. gwenaëlle's had been gained ... not the same way, native to the world as she is, but similarly. ) When I was first brought to the Inquisition, the organisation that Riftwatch was born out of, it wasn't willingly; you and I, if we leave, it will go from killing us slowly to killing us much, much quicker, and very painfully. We cluster together on purpose.
I could stay or I could lose a hand. I stayed. Native Thedosians with anchor-shards are rare. If I want to leave, my options are death or dismemberment.
( nearly an afterthought, )
No one will make you fight our war. I could have remained as I was, a hot house flower surrounded by all this steel and magic, and no one would have forced my hand.
