She arrived with her coat torn and her boots red with dust.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjqMh0FTAQ
Not fresh blood.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyY5c5prD5
Old earth.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Sb054ZWiM
Walked too long and far to care what clung to her.
She did not collapse.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXunWulMznH
She did not cry.
She ordered nothing.
She sat, looked at the fire, and said:306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9vM2Iexqw
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRpFZp4QFy
“Even if I die here… I shall have no regrets.”
She said it simply.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjtA9itgIL
Not to me.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkDN59tp2B
To the room.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5GgWCvqEj
To the fire.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63JhX80laX
To herself.
There was no ceremony to it.
I brewed something light, fragileroot and sunpetal,306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChXF3LuGhv
the kind that holds no bitterness, no memory, only warmth.
She smiled, touched the rim, but did not drink.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3ZnNVJLcY

“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.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9zo1SHFSR
Just in rest.
She stayed the night. She left at dawn.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6mk1nV30g
Left the drink untouched, glowing softly.
I do not know if she is still walking.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNr245XMeh
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.
