You're Not Weak

Mirelah;

"I had hoped you wouldn't be like me. "A soft voice speaks, and my forehead creases as I slowly begin to slip into consciousness.

 I feel someone stroking my hair, and I can bet it is Queen Velnara, but what does she mean she hoped I wouldn't be like her?

And why is this voice different? I've never heard any voice like it.

"Your heart is so pure. A beautiful thing the world will crave to crush. "The voice continues, and now I'm certain that I've never heard this voice before.

I slowly pull my eyes open, and my gaze lands on the ceiling of my bedroom at Blood Crescent.

"My sweet girl… "The voice calls, and I pause. I sit up in alarm, and when I turn to look at the person talking, my blood turns to ice in my veins.

My jaw drops in disbelief, and time slows down. I blink fast, to be sure I'm not hallucinating, but she doesn't vanish. She remains there. Smiling at me.
