Natticulus…..

Her head throbbed in response to the unbearable pain that seemed to find permanent residence inside her head. Thoughts and feelings seemed to run into each other preventing her from separating one from the other. Priding herself on her strength for the first time in her life she had never felt weaker. The direction in which her heart roamed she willing followed often questioning its path but grateful where it lead. Although, not born from wealth she sacrificed a lot to be with the woman who commanded her heart. Since crossing paths there journey together was far from perfect met with unforeseen challenges however, despite all matters they believed in their love. Considering her background never in her wildest dreams did she believe she would fall and capture the love of a princess. Seeing the woman she loved informed about their growing child only to feel rejected in return hurt more than a thousand stab wounds to the chest.

Although she failed to give answer Dana’s silence was disheartening. With her carrying her child they faced new challenges with one in particular standing out from the rest. She was unwed, of no noble blood, and carrying the bastard child of the future princess of Natticulus all things once Queen Maia was informed could have her arrested for treason. As bad as it sounded she look forwarded to getting passed it and knew it was only possible if Dana remained at her side. The confused look upon her face burned heavy in her mind, Dana was not happy which hurt her deeply. As she gathered her belongings packing them into a small chest she hoped to get as far away from Natticulus and her. Her plan was to return home, endure a stress free pregnancy, give birth to a healthy baby girl, and raise her on her own.
