She was under the weather when it rained for months.
She had a serious cold when the winter was too harsh and long.
When the hares started disappearing she felt incomplete.
When the villages grew too big she felt imbalanced and dizzy but hid it from the world.
When they tore out Granny's hut her heart started to break.
When they broke down the castle she sobbed, covered in dust and blood of the defenders.
When they forcibly evicted the tenants of the farms, her families, she was alone.
Unlike them she couldn't leave.
When the first blades broke the turf she knew she was going to die.
Because Tiffany Aching could live without the land but Land Under Sea couldn't live without her Chalk.
Tiffany Aching was the chalk. So when the Chalk died so did she. Or was it the other way round?
