Dragoncrest Cliffs so to impress her lady, the queen

For a long while Rose thought she was going to die, since the incident on the beach to be exact. Her captors were ruthless in their torture tactics, starvation being the kindest of all their punishments. What hit her hardest was the isolation and lack of sunlight, especially when the only contact she had came in the form of abuse in a dark, damp cave that served as her personal hell. Time wasn’t a factor in there and the amount of days that had gone by remained unknown to the russet girl who, in all honesty, didn’t really care anymore. Each moment was the same as the next, constantly waiting in fear for more of her suffering to come, at least that’s how it was until the inky boy came to set her free. 

At first she refused his plan, fear of what punishment she would face outweighed the rationality in her mind. But after some coaxing, the girl rose on unsteady legs and proceeded to follow the boy into whatever idea he had in mind, which hopefully wouldn’t lead to either of their deaths. It was only when they were far across Grimnismal’s borders did she fully collapsed, both exhaustion and relief flooding her in an instant. The overwhelming moment lasted no long than a second before she was being pushed forward, the desperation to reach Drageda’s border being enough to draw out the last bit of strength she had stored away.

She called out to him when she recognized a familiar area, voice strained and filled with emotion as she looked out into what she had taken so easily for granted. Her eyes flickered to the ground as he let out a howl that brought forth an anxiousness she had never felt before. It was still winter. There was still snow on the ground. She couldn’t have been gone for that long right? A week, two at most. But some unknown feeling swirled around in her gut that told her it had been longer than that, told her that it had been too long. Her gaze remained focused on the frozen ground while she shivered in the dark, the nervousness she felt growing with each passing second. It would be fine.

Everything would be fine now.
