Ack. I have over a thousand words but it's not a draft. Lucky me I'm not doing an official project.


The news of Princess Gwen's supposed treason reached
the village with crown mage Eleri, hunter mage.
It was, as Enid thought, an accusation that
Gwyneira tried to take the throne untimely, not
willing to wait until her time to become queen.
The word came on Eleri's lips, and she did warn
them not to spread it, for fear the treas'nous princess would
hear it and flee. She looked at Gwen while saying this.

ETA: Broke two thousand words. Still don't have a draft.

ETA2: I think I'm done.
