Chapter 5

Wren slept restlessly

Dreaming of horrors

From her youth

As she was becoming queen

She dreamed on

Of one person in particular

The one coming after her

Tib Arne

He had tried to do

Unspeakable things to her

Things that she would never tell Triss

For fear of his reaction

She had tried many times

But each time she felt ready

Triss would look deep into her eyes

And she could not continue

For her mind filled with shame

She could not tell such things

In front of him

For fear of hurting him

Thinking about it

Almost made her cry

Before she knew it

Tears were falling

Wren slowly opened her eyes

When she felt her tears

Being carefully wiped away

By a gentle hand
