Bloodlust

Raquel stared at the watery soup she had been given, wondering if it was too late to regret her decision to continue the feast. Several days had passed since she woke up from her fevered nightmare and a lot had happened in that time.

Ryker and Governor Elis had returned with Hale’s Text and Duchess Westerwyn soon left with it once Raquel had been healed. She wasn’t completely healed through, still feeling the side effects of the curse.

But she was no longer cursed.

Duchess Westerwyn was able to finally unravel the spell and remove it from Raquel. It did leave its mark, permanently scaring her face, but Raquel couldn’t care less considering she had narrowly escaped death.

She had told Lady Elis to move forward with the feast despite being bedridden and on a strict liquid diet. Still despite wanting to enjoy the feast with others, Raquel was glad to also just watch it from afar if it meant that it would still go on.
