Trial of the Moon Goddess

Elena’s POV

The vision starts abruptly.

I am positioned in the snow.

It is not the snow of today but the severe biting chill from years past. My exhalation mists the atmosphere. My hands shake, exposed and ineffective by my sides. The packhouse stands before me towering and forbidding.

“Why am I here?" I inquire. "If this is retribution, you might have

I catch them wherever I wander. In the kitchen. The training yard. The healer’s wing. Even in the hallway, near Maya’s room.Conversations hush as I walk by. Gazes quickly shift elsewhere.
