Strict drabble by manual count, but FFN says it isn't. I trust my own counting more.
The stress had caught up with me. It always did. Managing the others, arbitrating their petty squabbles, mending tears in the fabric of my creation...too much! It was time to seek relief. I went, as I always did in such times, to the spear pillar. There, I waited. I waited for one who was pure of heart and strong of will. Weeks passed. Finally, a worthy one appeared. I knew he would treat me well, and that I could escape my worries for a time. I surrendered, allowed him to capture me. For now, I had escaped my duties.
