Dolorosa

Dolorosa—a mother in pain and a solitary state when tears began to bawl her purple eyes. A lowly heart pierced not about death but in agony. Blood spilled through the open wounds with every innocent dead and every passing hour separated from her children. Her firstborn was gone while the two young ones were in the care and safety of the countryside. Dolorosa is what became of Queen Ines when she chose to stay at her husband’s side and nursed the wounded when the civil war broke out. She also provided the dying the palace church as their last dwelling before the priest would bless them with eternal rest. The whole kingdom was miserable—downhearted to the broken ties with their once solid ally.
