Crystal watched as Roryn came out of the forest all by himself. She let out a sob. Atharen had perished. That much she knew. Her one person that she had allowed her heart to love after everything that had happened in her life was dead. She was beginning to wonder if every man that she fell in love with would die. Maybe she as a bad omen or something of that type.
She watched as Roryn said something to Maen. She lowered her head and pulled up her cloak's hood. Uncontrolled tears fell down her face like small rivers that were trying to find the sea. She hadn't felt like this in so many years. She had always been able to control her emotions especially in front of others, but she couldn't right now.
Atharen, Ferethor, and Del were all dead. She couldn't even put two and two together. Roryn was sitting on his horse, looking out over the forest as if waiting. She couldn't even think straight.
