Marked by her rejected mate
As he approached Lith, who was still overcome with tears, he hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to console her or what had caused her distress.
Gently, Chul reached out a hand, placing it tentatively on her shoulder. "Little damsel," he spoke softly, his voice filled with an unspoken understanding. "What troubles you? Why do you weep?"
Lith's tear-streaked face turned towards him, her eyes filled with a mix of sadness and vulnerability. Through her choked sobs, she managed to articulate her anguish. "I... I feel trapped, suffocated by these walls," she stammered. "I long for freedom, for a life beyond these confines. But it seems like an impossible dream."
