She had knelt to pray, but couldn't find the words. She couldn't pray to a goddess, she no longer believed in. Her heart was so angry, and tormented, she had driven everyone who loved her away. Did she not stay now, in her mother's house, where Silus could not follow her? His words echoing around her head, like the many ghosts of those she'd lost. " your selfish!" It kept repeating in her head over and over. She had given away everything then. Her possessions, her fine clothes. She had no need of them. She was Princess.. of nothing. Anger at herself made her cut her hair. They couldn't understand what she was feeling, because she couldn't even understand what she was feeling. She felt like she was on the edge of madness.. with no where left to turn. "your selfish" it echoed in her head, and hurt far too much. Hadn't she given her family everything? She took care of them, nursed their wounds.. Did all the tasks, that were far too mundane for the honorable paladins. Maybe it had made her selfish. She had moved away to that little cottage, to be alone. To do what she wished to do. In her own defense, they had given her no peace.. not content to leave her to her own demons, they poked and prodded and tried to push her in directions she had felt no need to go. Now they were gone, and she felt like a boat with no rudder, aimlessly spinning round and round in a tide pool. Empty and angry.. how would she ever find her way forward again?
