I braced my hands onto the wooden dresser. Sweat was breaking out on my brow. Stress has been running my tired body rampant.

It has been four weeks since mercy has been in this odd vegetative like state. The seer has been by her side every step of the way. Insulting the maids so awfully that they ran and cry from that woman.

“How are you feeling?”

I sighed loudly. My dress! My idiotic dress doesn’t fit anymore. The one that was hand made was for me recently did not fit me anymore! And I could not get out of it! I have spent half an hour trying to remove the dress but its just too tight.

“I’m fine.” I lied

My voice cracking, emotions getting ready to spill over.
