The City of Argon (Ch.87)

~To accuse others for one's own misfortunes is a sign of want of education. To accuse oneself shows that one's education has begun~

-Epictetus

Andronika stood atop the city wall, leaning against Reo who stood behind her, his large furry head peering over her shoulders, his fur was soft and comforting and Andronika shut her eyes, sighing quietly. Her zither lay on a table some distance to the side, a table Aquilia had moved over a while back. Andronika had requested for her zither to be brought to her some hours prior but she had somehow lost the will to play even before it had arrived and so it lay there untouched while she remained standing some distance from it, looking over the expanse of land beyond fort Argon.
