A/N: Thank you to everybody who has reviewed so far. However, I've noticed that the comment to hit ratio is somewhat dismal. I would really appreciate more comments, as I can only improve with feedback. D:


Theme: N/A

Character: Dove

Words: 101

One year into her reign. The isles are unstable as ever. Her days are filled with reports to be read, forms to be approved, guests to greet, appearances to be made, meetings to be run--

Sometimes Dove wants to leave the palace; leave Rajmuat -- the too-bright sun, the merciless heat, the stifling air, thick with sweat and perfume.

She thinks of the Lombyn Highlands. If she cannot rewind time, then let her breathe the cold mountain air. Let her rest in the shadow of clouds. Let her listen to nothing but the wind, whispering, I give you your soul again.
