The long road

Deathbelle made her way to the cubbies on the wall as the water heated and she chose what she wanted to start her day. Just a little bit of black tea leaves mixed with mint once she poured them a bit of powdered stevia leaf, a practice she picked up from Iolaire.

She could feel him reminiscing and as he followed up with a small question she could believe it more readily. How many times a day did she ask herself what if? How different would her life be if she had only changed but a few crucial moments? Would happiness be easier to embrace?

”Long, I was worried we were going to lose Magnus.” She told him softly while removing the water from the heat and revealing a couple of her favorite bowls. PLacing the leaves in the pot her tiny lemur helped to pour the steeped liquid for each of them. A bit of the sweetener in powered form at the bottom of each. She slid one cup towards him as she lay luxuriously on her almost throne.

”Yes, she’s growing in leaps and bounds.” She wondered if she had instilled enough of her values in the girl, they were so different. ”Future Empress and future Warlord spending time together. Reminds me of a different time.” She stole a quick longing glance from him before leaning down to lap gently at her tea.
