The Wife Who Walked Through Silence
Shadows seemed to linger where leaders once stood. Quiet filled corners like old whispers refusing to fade. Every step echoed through silence heavier than stone. Dust coated maps nobody would ever study again. Time stopped here long before anyone noticed.
On each wall rested pieces of the past - canvas scenes of warriors caught mid-battle, flags dulled by time, yet holding whispers of command. Above the fireplace, blades crossed one another, their edges softened by years though never losing edge, catching light in quiet flashes. Standing along the room's sides: lances, bucklers, shattered heirlooms from forgotten fights, standing as if remembering duty long after silence fell.
