Witch Queen
“The road was overgrown with tall grasses and scrubby pine, but the animals moved with ease and grace, even the elk. A flock of small pink birds with long feathered tails like two strips of delicate lace flew over our heads chirping happily, free and without a care in the world.
With every passing hour, my heart pounded faster and faster. Even in the cool air, my body felt on fire. My shirt was soaked in sweat and clung to my back and chest. Beads of sweat trickled down between my breasts. I was... a mess, and I smelled like a vagrant from the Pit. Hell, I probably looked like one.
I’d cry if I dared to look back at the men, and I didn’t want to arrive in Lunaris with red eyes and a puffy face. And so I rode on with an increasing dread in my soul.
The road widened. It was flat and hard with signs of frequent travel. To the south, a village cozied up to the mountains and forests. Soon, wooden and stone buildings began to appear on either side of the road. Many of them had large, lavish manicured lawns, and they reminded me of the villas back home.MoreLess
