Out in the Sun
Ruby slowly started to walk down the corridor of the dungeon. A lot of things were in her mind like what she was supposed to do or say if someone called her out, and what she was supposed to do if she came face to face with Everard.
However, most importantly, the things that danced in her mind were all the precious moments that she had shared with Everard.
She had a sad smile on her face as she mindlessly climbed the stairs of the dungeon. But then, reality hit her. ‘I should have never followed him here… At least then, I would only have fond memories of him. I shouldn’t have overstayed my welcome.’
Without even realizing it, tears started to roll down her eyes like streams that flowed down the mountains.
‘It was his duty to say that he would protect me, or that I was a part of his family and his clan. After all, he was the one who made me this way… But I shouldn’t have taken his words too literally. I could have started a new life in Lavinya rather than following him here.’
