Death

I will never go on a walk by myself again.  My experience at Niflheim was not traumatic, but it was certainly a sign of my own ignorance.  That I had allowed myself to be lured by my own curiosity is unacceptable.  What would have happened if I didn't escape fast enough?  At the time, I'd hardly made friends in Asgard.  Would they have noticed my disappearance?

For the last several days, I have spent my mornings in the greenhouse and tending to my herbs.  The afternoons have been spent studying different blends.  Unfortunately, I have no means of knowing if my concoctions work.  I can only hope.  If another member of our house is injured, I will at least have some treatments on hand.  Otherwise, I fear that my blindness causes me to be useless overall.  I will find a way to overcome this.  I must prove myself to these people.

Arachne used to call me worthless all those months before she and our brother left.  She was different than when we were children.
