Tribute

Melanie wiped a tear that rolled out from her eye. She continued “Magda ran back to her kingdom, Yezia, leaving a trail of emotional and physical injuries. Mother, father, Tova… they were in the worst condition. It took a lot of days for them to recover. Though Tova recovered soon, my father’s condition improved much later. As for my mother, she was unconscious for almost three weeks. Healers had given up on her. My father wouldn’t leave her for a minute. He would cry at what was done to him and to her. Eventually when she was out of her coma, she couldn’t walk without pain. It took almost six months for my mother to become healthy again. And Tova… he watched them, feeling miserable every moment of the day. The whole incident left a dent in his mind.” Melanie looked at her. “I hope now you understand why they hate witches. Please don’t judge them.”

“Magda?” Alyssa whispered hoarsely.
