Some time has passed since they left Astra's island and Aidan finally asked: what was a katress doing so far from her own people and so dangerously close to the Wixens of the East?
Astra told them briefly and almost neutrally: her unsual growth and great power brought the attention of the other katress on her and they eventually tried to use her, not like a champion or an agent, but as a mere tool: draining her power to boost their own since she apparently had a lot of power to spare. At first she accepted to help her people, but soon she began to envy all of the others who had... a life... so she decided to reover her own. And one day, she escaped.
The answer of her companions was immediate and the wamrth of their embrace made her feel things she hadn't felt in a long time..
—That's Horrible!—
—I'm so sorry that you had to go through all of that for this conflict...—
—To deny the beauty of life to someone as awesome as you is unforgiveable!—
—You won't have to experience something like that ever again, we'll do whatever it takes to make sure of that—
—M-meow! ok, OK!I get it! You can stop being so mushy!!—
—Jejeje! awww!! look how red you are, soooo cuuuute!—
—Well, a little bit of affection is always nice, I'm sure you needed it...—
—Quiet you two!— but Astra had to admit for herself that she indeed needed it.
