Where life began
Confused about what to say, she uttered, "So what of it?" Words that sank Ossa's nonexistent heart.
"Why?!... How?!" Ossa's mind short-circuited, not understanding how the queen could just disregard a great deed such as saving the world from destruction.
He looked blankly at the queen, hoping she had just fumbled and did not mean what she had said.
In his whole life, he had never once been this disregarded, neither by foe nor ally. Everyone was in awe or fear of his power or at least had respect for him, not such blatant indifference.
"What do you want?" the queen added, not changing her first words, as she was unaware they were offensive to Ossa.
The twins and Miriel could only sigh, aware of the queen's inferiority complex which made her say strange things occasionally.
"I... I want a body for my master's and my sake," Ossa stammered, his blank eyes looking directly at the queen, unable to read the cold expression behind the veil.
