Troubled Mind

Quinasa sat alone on the borders of Varshikar, thinking. Many thoughts swirling through her brain: the kingdom, all the work yet to be done, her husband whom she missed terribly, an annoying sensation in her arm she only distantly felt, and the girl Mary. Mary took up most of her thoughs today. She stared at the lump of a sand pile in front of her not really seeing it. The annoying sensation in her arm was getting worse, she came out of her thoughts just as the scorpion was getting ready to sting her again. Quin mumbled words and the scorpion beside her burst into flame. Too late, she was poisoned.
On her way back from the cross she slunk past the people in the square and crept into the first building on her left. Opening the depot and pulling out a long blue robe, she covered her naked body from the cold that was taking a firm hold on the island. She looked up into the sky and whispered "Mary..." before exiting the building and setting back to work. There was still a city that needed rebuilding, something that she hoped would always need her. She wiped her eyes and stepped out into the cold once more.
