I want to release the pent up anger

After the woman had stalked away, Ardhel broke down, sobbing. She hoped no one was around to see this. Bad enough being defeated, but breaking down where there were likely others? No. She had to get out of here. She slunk into the undergrowth. She wanted to be alone and cry. She wanted her mother. That was the first time that she had ever thought that, even in those first few weeks of being alone, she had never wanted her mother. Because her mother hadn't wanted her.

Ardhel remained in the undergrowth for about an hour. She would need something to help with the pain, and to wash the blood of her face. She picked herself off the ground and walked from whence she came. With her head held high, maintaining some dignity.
