Remembered
“It was high summer in Tenebris, but sudden changes in weather could happen. Whatever its cause, it suited Galia’s mood. She allowed herself to be dressed in a beautiful silk gown of sky blue. The slippery folds draped over her like water. She pinched some of the silk between two fingers, seeing it as though for the first time. She knew it’d been brought from a far corner of the world, across empty land and mountains, only to end up adorning a slave’s body.
We don’t choose our slaveries, she... thought, but some of us do better than others.
She went to find Rhea, and they finalized their plans for the bread. To Galia’s pleasant surprise, the bread deliveries could begin right away.
“You work fast,” she said to Rhea, who dimpled with pleasure.
“I couldn’t afford not to,” she admitted. “The Oracle said that whenever you were done with me, I was to send you on to her.”
