Lily of the Valley: a tear, followed by a sob

This battle is won, she thinks while sitting on a slanted, fire-blasted roof of charred tiles. I am free of the parasite, yet I question what’s next.

The sun bathes Faerûn in sparkling hues of orange and gold. Pierces Baldur’s Gate with the cruelest shade of red. Blood is darker, and dries darker still, but it doesn’t plunge into her heart the way this crimson stabs at an unbroken people.

Lae’zel paints this memory a permanent corner in her mind as something trails down her cheek. More follows. She chokes out an alien sound, and she glories in knowing it.
