Yule (1)

The magic around her was from three people—Adrianna, Ileus and Rolfe. This was in and around the dungeon. But Anastasia's magic surrounded theirs outside the dungeon until the walls of the fortress. She was slowly, bit by bit, tearing their magic. It took her a week to get out of the hook in which Ileus had hung her. The moment she was on the floor, she had vomited, her head was pounding with a terrible ache and she vouched that she would find him and slice him to pieces after killing his wife. The two had helped her foolish son to usurp the throne. Siora ate the roots of the trees that had entered in the crevices of the cell and sometimes even dug the moss out. Slowly, she started cutting through the magic. She would free herself even if it took months.
