Solitude

Rizzanna felt so alone. Never had she imagined how hard it was to
rule. She had no idea how she would manage to keep the kingdom
from falling into the hands of the barbarians of the South. There
was no one she could trust, especially after her mother the queen
had been murdered. She had tried and failed at so many things since
that day. If only she had known, if only her magic had been stronger,
she might have been able to save her. She stood under the full moon
wishing that she could turn back the hands of time and go back to
being a princess without the responsibility that now weighed heavily
on her shoulders. What advise would the queen have for her now
that the role was hers? If only she could connect with her mother's
spirit.
