A prisoner once more. This is how I began my journey with God’s Shadow, and this is how it’ll end—With me tied up with my brothers and sisters. Failure, that’s what I feel. My eyes haven’t dried since they shackled us and marched us into town. What of my Orion? Is he safe? No, of course, he is, I placed many protection spells inside the cave. And I know it’s not right, to speak incantations over a child, but Orion must live, even if I do not.
Christopher’s captain, the one they call Hanson, kicks us, and instructs his soldiers to treat us less than human. I might deserve their spit and their hands underneath my dress, but Lady Greywind does not. Her penance writes itself all over her face. Unfortunately, she suffers from the darkness she’s conjured to try and win the war.
