Queen's Lament
Alyss Heart stood anxiously outside the medical tent. She wrung her pale hands together in frustration. At that very moment, her greatest friend Dodge Anders lay wounded behind the fabric of the tent. Bibwit Harte was attending to him as best he could, poking his colourless face out of the tent every few minutes to tell Alyss of his progress.
Alyss knew there was a chance that he would survive. But with the good comes the bad, the chance that he may not.
Lifting her fair face to the heavens, she spoke a silent prayer for her friend.
Save him. Please just save him. My poor Dodge, my sweet, my brave him.
Bibwit's head appeared "Alyss, it's not looking good."
Don't leave me 'till my sorry life has ceased.
A scream of pain was heard from the tent.
Alone and loveless here, just "The girl who went trough the mirror".
Alyss bit her lip, using all her restraint to keep from rushing into the tent.
Just her and, a Queen of Wonderland.
Bibwit walked out of the tent. "Good news. I used an ancient remedy that I had been taught when I was a boy. It seems to have worked. He's resting."
We deserve each other.
