Throne of Thorns

Category: Fantasy

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.

The market was bustling with merchants, their voices a chorus of bargains and boasts.

The morning light filtered through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold.

She had learned long ago not to trust promises.

She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.

Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.

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

The end.
