Wartorn: Resurrection
“It was a female soldier from the mess corps who was sent to "remake Raven. She was very matter-of-fact about things. She had gotten a basin and some soap, boiled some water, and scrubbed Raven's stringy dark hair, untangling knots that had been there some long time.
She winced as the woman's tough fingers scoured her scalp, but Raven knew that General Weisel had ordered this, so she went along.
The soldier dried her hair with a cloth, then quickly and neatly braided it. Raven had never been able to learn the knack of that, and so had ignored her hair, just as she had ignored her plump, short, and disappointing body all her life. That disappointment had been shared by her mother, who herself had been beautiful enough in her youth to attract the attentions of Lord Matokin.
Raven shook herself. It was difficult sometimes not to spend every waking moment dwelling on her father... dwelling as well on the terrible secret fear she harbored, that her mother might somehow be mistak...en in the identity of her father.MoreLess
