Drop your baskets, they will be filled before you're done with me." "Done with you?" Letting the baskets sit on the ground, my eyes rolled around searchingly. ~~~~~~~~ "Open the gate for my Luna.

Her long white sleeping robe dirty and bloody from her waist down, she looked a royal mess; with a bunch of blankets wrapped around her upper half. “My Queen, what happened?” Beth asked as she handed me my medicine bag.
