Rielen can remember the first day like it was yesterday. The feeling of sadness when Karla came to her and explained that Eon was not doing so well mentally. The first visit where he could not even form words. The apologies she had made to those he had injured.
Today was the day he would leave the healer facility and return to the Palace with her. Months had gone by and walking about the Palace was becoming difficult as her walk was more of a waddle now.
She had decided to pick up Eon instead of having Karla bring him. Many had tried to argue, but she was still Queen so they could not stop her. The worries that had caused her to misstep were long past her.
If she didn't show strength, then others would take advantage of the condition that she was in. Of course, there were still worries of the enemy that had caused all of this. Skirmishes had been reported in nearby kingdoms and they seemed random. 'Just what is your aim?'
