amazing first chapter!! you've written riza beautifully and her emotions are so poignant, i love the way you've described her. i can't wait to see where this fic goes. i think this is my favorite part;
Riza trudged down the hall, giving voiceless greetings to the officers that walked past her. Her mind was reeling, years of pent-up anger rising to the surface. She'd worked so hard to stuff it down and forget about it, ignorant to the fact that one day it would return. Her brother and the rest of her men didn't deserve her anger. It wasn't their storm to weather.
She stopped when she reached the courtyard, the downpour washing away the tension and putting out the fire. She bit her lip to keep in from trembling; the dying embers were her last line of defense. Perhaps the anger was better. There was no way she'd survive the downpour.
