As if things weren’t already bad enough… she grumbled silently, as she quickly stomped her way through the busy city. She’d been fairly lucky, for the most part. Until the other day, that is. Rage and despair rocked through her.
What is it about nosy druids and meddling paladins? She’d done her best to drive the pair off. It had worked with everyone else, thus far. But the druid had not been so easy to fool, and her paladin-husband was as persistent as a tooth ache. Walking away had been one of the hardest things she’d ever done.
A part of her wanted to cry. Another part of her wanted to smash things, to lash out in retaliation to the pain. And a quiet, disturbing corner of her mind wanted to inflict that pain on them.
Her left hand clenched involuntarily, a sudden spasm of pain that was by now all too familiar. She grit her teeth and did her best to ignore it – both the pain and that insidious siren call.
You’ll not get me THAT easily, Nether take your filthy hides, she growled silently. So long as I have breath, so long as I have will, I’ll turn this damnable curse against you and yours.
~And how long will THAT be, hmmm?~
She ignored that voice, and walked on.
