Wolfram walked silently through the gardens, aware of, but ignoring the whispers of the servants that floated from corners and hidden shadows. Let them talk; it didn't matter.

He stopped in front of his mother's flower garden, kneeling down to trace the edge of one of the delicate, cobalt colored flowers. Feelings from childhood reared their heads, fighting to make themselves known. Admiration and love mixed with revulsion and loathing, and then became muddled with jealousy. Then a new feeling surfaced: pain.

Wolfram's grip tightened on the hilt of his sword. His eyes narrowed as he wrestled with the jumbled emotions. Anger won.

"How dare you do this to us."
