Because My Wounds Are Real Part V


Loziras sat upon the ramparts of the inner wall, looking out upon the ruined city.  He heard the elf approach him long before he came into view.  “Hi Cortin,” he said.

“Well hello there young Loziras.  Why so glum?” asked the burley, irrepressible elf.

“You wouldn’t understand,” shot back Loziras.

“Wouldn’t we?” asked Ishalzi as she stepped from the shadows.  Loziras nearly jumped out of his skin when she appeared from nowhere.

And my wounds are real
I must rise from the sorrow
And find my way out of the dark
I’ve cried my tears from pain
There’s a new day tomorrow
I’ll turn the hourglass again.”
