lies won't hide your flaws

The young queen had grown much in the past two years - her absence from Alacritia went unnoticed to most she could presume. Her eyes held a tint of worry as she rushed through the valleys and the mountains in desperate search for a cure. The fact was her mother was dying and Laria feared that there was nothing she could do to help her live. Laria had always done the opposite of what her mother asked of her but now she could fulfill her mother's wishes at least once. Laria had begun to doubt that there was a cure for her mother. Her uncle Halgen had tried every known cure and concoction but she couldn't give up hope. Sovernguard was in the good hands of her brother so she had a bit of time but she knew she'd have to be returning to her mother and father. Oh her poor father, who loved her mother so much. What was he feeling and going through? "Please hold on mother." Her prayers were spoken out loud. No wolf was around and so the peppered girl would look on for strange plants that might aid her ailing mother in recovery.
