Draven came from the hall, moving straight to Selene. “Are you harmed?”
“She has gone mad,” Selene sobbed, holding his arm. “She is cruel. I did not mean to damage it…”
“She attacked me,” she added quietly. “I think she pushed me.”
I felt numb. “You are shameless.”
Draven turned on me, eyes cold. “What is wrong with you? She did not mean it. You always seek conflict.”
Then Alden shoved me back, not hard, but enough to unbalance me.
“Stop this,” he mumbled, guiding Selene away.
And again, they left me. Alone.
I stood in the center of the den, breathing unevenly, staring at the broken chain on the floor. I knelt and gathered the pieces with shaking fingers.
That was it.
The final boundary crossed.
I returned to my chamber, took my crystal communicator and activated a call rune.
A sleepy voice answered. “Hello?”
“It is Luna Liora,” I said plainly. “I wish to sell the manor dwelling in Mooncrown.”
“Sell?” the voice echoed. “Immediately?”
“Yes,” I replied. “List it. Open it to buyers.”
“Yes,” I replied. “List it. Place it before buyers.”
