❝I walked across an empty land.
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand.
I felt the earth beneath my feet.
Sat by the river and it made me complete.❞
❝Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.
So tell me when you're gonna let me in.
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.❞

Ophelia sat at the campfire, her chin on her palm, staring into the flames. The evening was chilly, and she had a shawl wrapped tightly around her shoulders. It was a vastly different lifestyle than she was used to, sleeping in the foothills of the looming mountains, eating scarcely, as there were many mouths to feed. Ophelia was used to the lavish parties and great banquets that living as Nobility allowed for. Not picking skimpy bird-meat off of a stick. She was tough, however, and she had to support her father's endeavors. What kind of daughter would she be if she did not? Besides, she was sure it would pay off in the long run. Lord Danbury, leader of the Rebellion, would not have so many followers otherwise.
Ophelia rose from her seat and walked to the edge of the trees, peeking out over the dimming plain. From her vantage point, she could see the spires of the castle, it's tower windows still lit with firelight, peeking up out of the city- the city that was her home... No, her home was gone. It would have been overrun with the King's men by now. Doubtlessly ransacked and repossessed. She would never get to go back.
Unable to think about that any longer, Ophelia turned and made her way back to the fire. Most of the camp was already settled in for the night, as they would be up bright and early, but Ophelia liked to stay awake for the entirety of the sunset. It was something concrete that she could hold onto in these times of war. Her father, apparently, was still up as well. His familiar shape waited for her by the fire- to give her orders, no doubt. Trying not to let her mind wander on the possibilities of what it could be this time, she sucked in a breath, and continued on towards him.

❝And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything,
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know.❞
