It happened fast...too fast.
One minute she was a queen, and the next she was a refuge with no obvious place to go, no plan for what lie ahead. She was still in shock of it all, and ultimately she just felt numb. Who was she, if she wasn't a leader? Who was she, if she didn't have a home?
Durotan followed her, thank god. She walked by his side, both of them deathly silent. She kept replaying the day over and over in her head - the hurt, the betrayal, the guilt. It all came back to her in waves. She had failed them (Durotan, Circinae, Kylin, Klaudius, her children), left them with no home.
She cannot go anywhere else. They cross the borders into Tephra, the climate similar to her (stop, it's not yours anymore) island home. She lets out an unsteady breath, then looks over to Durotan as he speaks. His words don't make her feel anything...she feels raw. "There isn't anything you can say, Duro," She murmurs, her voice low and quiet. She didn't have the strength to speak as she normally would. "I'm so sorry. I failed you all..." She turns her head away, fighting back the tears that were threatening to pour out.
