In a small, sunlit room, Lia sat on a bed and watched the busy main street with the many people gathering around from the window.
It was a bright morning and she could see the excitement going on outside. However, she had no idea what it was all about. Her head was still muddy and dizzy from the realisation and anger that she was only a tiny step away from getting Elder Z.
Lia knew that she has been too confident in her power. It was a fatal mistake that proved her ignorance, naivety and arrogance. From now on, she had to be more careful and diligent in her planning.
If she wasn't to 100% sure her plan would work then she would meticulously adjust it until there was not even the tiniest bit room left for failure.
For a while, she sat there just absent-mindedly staring out of the window. The dust that was dancing in the sunlight looked like snowflakes gracing every part of her pale skin where even the golden light could not resist dying it.
