Breathe Again
A solution in mind caused her anxiety to ease. With purpose she made her way from the bridal chamber, out the castle, and into the forest.
Once there amid the drooping branches of the forest giants, she allowed herself a deep breath. It helped to steady her nerves and yet at the same time it didn't give her the same pleasure it once did. The air was sweet and refreshing, but the forest was silent around her, the birds and beasts vanished, even the ever present insects gone. The trees boughs swayed gently in the breeze, but beyond that, the only sound that could be heard was her deep and steady breaths.
