Mirelah;
Queen Velnara's words suddenly reply in my mind, and I feel colour drain from my face as I realise what I'm looking at.
" The Thorned Mother. A mixture of trees and… something dark. She wants children. So, any person she finds becomes hers. Mummified by vines and kept with her. Permanently."
These are some of the other brides who were sent beyond the gates!!
Is this what is going to become of me?!!
The ground suddenly starts shaking, and the creatures in front of me begin to step away. My heart sinks in fear. They're moving away, and I can't. I want to move away too! What are they moving away from??
They step away from my front, and just a few feet away, I see something huge… massive. Like a moving tree. The trees move out of the way, and my heart falls out of my chest when I finally see it. This… creature. This… This monster.
