Slye:-desperately fighting the tears with every last ounce of energy inside her fragile body she crawls her way to the window hole which provides lookout from the top of the watchtower, as she hauls herself up to the window she looks out at the world and forces herself to smile at what could be, the life that awaits her outside these walls brings her hope back up to fighting levels, then she focuses her eyes on the ground below, more precisely on the moat which surrounds her current position, the moat had been built deep as it flows into a river at the left side of the settlement. The one hope she has now is to do it, this time the contrasts of her life get her and her tears start streaming uncontrollably as the window and moat which held the most danger. Her peaceful childhood are now the sole representation of hope and life that she has left.-
Don't think... Close your eyes, and go. -upon her own word she drops backwards from the window and crashes down into the moat, from here she is rushed into the powerful currents of the fast flowing river from the moat and is pushed downstream at high speeds. Eventually she awakens, she is safe, on a riverbank, the dirt and cuts which cover her body are a first for her, she is used to utter cleanliness and perfection of the skin, somehow though, the dirt comforts her... Brings the child she so longs to be back out of her. For a minute this is where she stays, staring up into the stars as the final tears escape from her eyes.-
