Father, forgive me.
I had not been able to end this land’s curse.
Not today.
Though she had not killed me either,
when my consciousness returned
I was in the fortress gallery.
The paintings I had heard about hung here:
beautiful brush strokes of the local landscapes
in vivid colours and textures.
These were painted by her late father.
There were 3 paintings of the fortress
painted back in its gilded glory
before the weather of neglected time brought it to ruin.
All 3 had been slashed with a grief-ridden blade.
