The young girl forced her way through the snow, shivering furiously. She wandered blindly until she reached a cliff. She looked around and saw that her footsteps had been covered by the unrelenting snowfall. Now there would be no way back.
I do not want to be your queen she thought, and took another step towards the cliff.
"There you are!" a voice exclaimed as someone grabbed her by the hand. She could feel her legs start moving at the woman's pull.
Xelha looked back towards the cliff, wondering if she would ever build up the courage to jump again.
