The sword was heavier than she expected, but she did not lower it.

The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.

She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.

The letter was still on the table, unopened, as it had been for three days.

There were stories told of this place, and none of them ended well.

She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.

The garden had been her mother’s pride, and now it was hers.
