ERIS
I was lost in my own thoughts, feeling a kind of tension radiating from Soren's body wrapped around mine but perhaps he was just exhausted like I was.
My body screamed for rest... every muscle ached, every bone felt hollow, divine fire still smoldering in my veins where it shouldn't be. But my mind? My mind refused to quiet.
While Soren continued his gentle kisses trailing across my shoulder and neck, my brain spun and calculated despite the intimacy of the moment.
Today played back in sharp detail... Vetra's accusations delivered with perfect maternal concern, the planted evidence too amateur to be convincing, the bought witnesses crumbling under basic scrutiny, nobles turning on their emperor like pack animals sensing weakness. All lies. All schemes. All Vetra.
