In Their Own Story
The wind rustled through the golden wheat fields as the Valley Queen stepped onto her balcony, her gaze fixed on the distant horizon where dark clouds gathered. Below, her subjects moved with a calm efficiency that only existed under her rule. She heard the faint sound of hoofbeats approaching the castle gates—the Bone cousins were returning, bearing news from the wastelands. A small smile touched her lips; she knew the storm was coming, but as long as she stood on this throne, the valley would remain a sanctuary for those brave enough to seek it.
