Prompt: Heroic

“Way to go, Firequencher!”

Seneca tried to smile, but it was more of a grimace. She was quickly growing to hate that name.

How could she explain that her actions hadn't been the idealized heroics her fahrar mates thought they were. True, she's been the first to make an enemy kill. To get revenge for a fallen mentor. But how could they possibly understand it was happenstance. A fluke. How could she admit to how frightened and cowardly she'd felt.

She was no hero, she wanted to shout. She was even afraid her side of events would make her shunned.
