Worthless Eyes


Alone, the queen stood atop the highest precipice. The towering monstrosity beneath her was the only unconsumed land left. She looked on, oblivious to the fire engulfing innocent people as the water they used to protect themselves only made the danger inescapable. All too aware of her now weightless crown encrusted with worthless jewels; her thoughts flickered to memories of her grandfathers eyes, filled with the arrogance of unimaginable power. Queen Alsaril felt her eyes fill with the same ignorance.
