She arrived with her coat torn and her boots red with dust.78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKQH31iXX6
Not fresh blood.78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVjoH6DcMM
Old earth.78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIP1dXHca5
Walked too long and far to care what clung to her.
She did not collapse.78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLTS4rnfHL
She did not cry.
She ordered nothing.
She sat, looked at the fire, and said:78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5Iq68zfNm
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafm0maYJ5T
“Even if I die here… I shall have no regrets.”
She said it simply.78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ8JD9fEyh
Not to me.78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTIwlHvsjO
To the room.78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLSfh1sxdP
To the fire.78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofrjcPiwQD
To herself.
There was no ceremony to it.
I brewed something light, fragileroot and sunpetal,78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqqGXjCgBv
the kind that holds no bitterness, no memory, only warmth.
She smiled, touched the rim, but did not drink.78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOvcoK0cIL

“This place… I didn’t dream it, did I?”
I shook my head.
She nodded once.
And then, she closed her eyes.
Not in death.78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwOlzLbJZp
Just in rest.
She stayed the night. She left at dawn.78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX7cHIxkCC
Left the drink untouched, glowing softly.
I do not know if she is still walking.78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOoRLdKfgI
But I know she was here.
And if that moment was her last.
She chose it.
And the tavern remembered her without needing to ask her name.
