Akila,
The young queen walked on shaky legs as she headed back to her tent.
After what happened and how they spent most of the day defending themselves, Akila felt tired.
She was trying to look strong in front of her husband and her friends, but in truth, she was frightened.
She was afraid that she might lose her life here, but she was scared about her baby's future.
She was afraid that one wrong move and she will lose the only thing that linked her to her lover now.
The only hope she held for him and the only thing she could offer him as gratitude.
Akila has never been afraid of death neither before nor now. She always knew that something better will await her in the afterlife.
And this belief was strengthened after meeting the gods and seeing the other realm.
But now she has a role to play and a future to set for her son. She can't leave like this or ever give him up.
