Takira was inconsolable, tears streaming endlessly down her face as she sat outside Mora's room. She was hunched on the floor, her forehead resting on her knees and arms wrapped around herself. She couldn't believe it, she simply couldn't! Who would attack Mora, who? She was so kind! Whoever it was, they would be brought to justice! She quieted for a moment, glanced over at the door, and burst into tears again, her tiny body shaking as she sobbed. Takira couldn't even find the strength to hobble out to the stables and see her horse, she was far too upset by the attack on her sister. She hadn't eaten, had hardly slept, she could barely drag herself off the floor despite her need to appear strong for her messenger birds that came to bring her news. It had to be one of the Old Gods, it just had to be!
