I don't feel like much of a leader."</strong>she began slowly<strong>"I used to be so respected within these walls, I moved up fast, I always knew exactly what to do and what to say."</strong>she spoke out. She paused for a bit before continuing<strong>"Now... it seems that everything I say or do is wrong. I have Blessed arguing or defying me. Hell, I have been even struggling with my connections to the Gods. I just feel..."</strong>she looked up<strong>"Defeated."</strong>she finally added.<br/><br/>It was true that she had been struggling over the last few years, mostly only Jeremiah knew that, and Nenene through the letters she would write. She had minimal contact with her Deity which made her feel as though she was losing favor. She couldn't even keep control and command a small room... how was she supposed to command an entire village. She knew nothing of her past, born abandoned. She loved her adoptive parents but not know where she came from was hard on her. She never felt like she fit in, her powers manifested very early, even for a Blessed. Her parents always tried to reassure her that she was just destined for something great, a gift from the Gods. She never quite saw it though.<br/><br/>Taking over as an Elder at the village was already hard but when her predecessor passed on his responsibilities to her, it only made things more unstable. She did really well, for a long time. She was kind but firm and was well respected in the village. Last few years though, her self doubt begun to get to her more and more, making it even easier for people to feel as though they can say or do whatever they want. She didn't feel 'destined for something great' any more. She was barely hanging on.
