Tick...Tock...Tick...Tock

Patience was what she displayed for the maiden. Her violet eyes lingering over her as she gave her sympathies. a sigh escaped her mouth as she replied, ?Such is the life of the mad, although, I wouldn?t trade it for a normal one. I?ve learned to grow quite fond of the speaking followers and riddles that plague my mind. It makes me odd.? She said with a smile, she had made the word odd sound like a term of endearment. Yes, she would not wish or others to suffer as they did. To know and not know what as real and what was simple illusions. Yet, if she could go back, bring her mind around and show it why it broke would it change anything? She thought it wouldn?t and still here she would be standing in the shadows of a woman she had been meant to be. Wouldn?t he be proud. she sneered inside her head. Her beautiful father would be rolling in his grave to know she was the queen of a kingdom. Worthless is what he would call her and a freak of nature that also needed to be put down.

She listened at the words of her punishment. What had she done wrong? Loved by someone, impregnated, and left for scorn? She could almost see the scene of the broken lover. See the pain that etched deep into this maiden?s heart. It broke her own to know her pain. She shook her head at the thought. ?I know not why your king did punish your lover. What your crimes are I cannot understand. Love is meant to mend, or so they say, so why abuse you both?? she said with a hint of anger. She knew nothing of love. She knew not what it felt like to burn for another. All she knew was the hunger she felt to be abused. She longed to be made to feel as if she mattered in some slight significant way. She had found her anchor and it bared the gender female. Yet loved none but care in her own odd way.

?I carry bastard children myself. Pups I had no knowledge of conception until the first flecks of life rolled with in me.? she said with a grimace. It was an odd thing to feel really. ?If you wish your life to be freed but still care for the feel of companionship I can offer you my kingdom to stay. I am the current queen of Lentajin and I turn no one away. Should you wish to abandon your children I am certain they will come close to mine if not after. I will offer myself to care for them, till they can chose their own paths and relive you of your burdens if you wish.? She offered softly. It was a hard thing to do. Abandon the young that would wish to know their mother but at least they would not die. They would thrive with her children and know what caring was. She could be free of them and of her past. Free to start over somewhere fresh where the alpha cared for her subjects. Cared for the broken whose minds mirrored her own.
