The cold wind blew Selene's hair to her mouth. She reached to remove the strands and left her window, drawing the curtain together. The night was eerie, cold and restless, she had been unable to sleep after putting Mia to bed. The thoughts of her future bothered her, she had always known she was alone the day the Sol warriors went into their castle to take her father away but this night seemed to make the harsh reality all the more clearer. She was an unmarried maiden out into the region with a young girl to care for, she knew the odds were against her. Selene sighed softly and sat on her bed as the events of the past weeks weighed on her, she had decided to be strong, to be strong and optimistic for Mia but slowly she felt the fear creep in, the fear of being alone, having to fend for both of them, to protect them both.
