Okay. Deep breaths. You can do this. Steeling her resolve with a little mental pep talk, Ashlynn grinned as she finalized her applications for both Asterion and Leviathan. Double majoring in Science and History wouldn't be the easiest thing ever, but oh! It would be exhilarating. She'd do the History coursework at Asterion first since that would allow her to help Coralie out with the shop and babies. By the time she was ready to transfer over to Leviathan, the kids would be in the Academy and the shop would be stable."Not the easiest of paths you've picked, old girl," she muttered. But that was part of the allure. She didn't want some stuffy old mountain with even stuffier old Chimera as a life. She wanted to be out learning and possibly discovering new things. She wanted to help Coralie to run the best pet shop in the history of ever. She wanted to leave a positive mark on the world. One the babies would appreciate when they were older.
Ashlynn burst into sudden, delighted laughter. No, she hadn't chosen the easy path. But she'd chosen the right one for her. And she was, by the gods, going to enjoy it.
"Look out world! Here I come!"
