Focal Character(s):
Anise

Over her time working for two sides, Anise had become very good at putting up a front. All she had to do was smile, giggle, and make a comment about money, and all suspicion was erased. Anise was Anise, they would say, and life would move on. Nothing to worry about. Just Anise being Anise.

But underneath it all, she hoped and wished with every single bit of her heart that someone would see through her facade and free her from her prison. She wanted them to know that she was lying. But she couldn't just come right out and say it. Mohs would have her head.

It was like she was waiting for Prince Charming to come and rescue her, but Prince Charming didn't know that the damsel was in distress.

The problem was, and she didn't realize it was the problem until after it was too late and she sat clutching the fonstone that was the only thing left to her of Ion, that was the damsel's fault.
