- Scheherezade -
As she walked Scheherazade thought?It still seemed odd to her that everyone was stressing just how much she should stay away from the tower. She didn¡¯t want to be one of those folks but she was definitely curious. That would be something she would have to consider another time because the beauty and majesty of where they now stood was captivating.
¡°It¡¯s beautiful. I could see why two lovers could be seduced by the simply beauty of the spot.¡± She said stepping away from him to begin to explore the sight. As she did, she closed her eyes and it was as if she was transported back to such a time.
(Callum)
"Many were and many did," Callum said pensively, his thoughts going back to a certain time.? "Na always wisely, ah fear. And na without consequences. No, na without consequences."? He turned to look back towards the castle and it's forbidding tower.? "When we're young, we like to think that love conquers all, that it answers everything. And we dearly wish it to be true.? But life is na that simple. Or fair. Or generous.? Sometimes it can harsh and cruel beyond all reason, and lives end up being crushed between its great wheels like so much discarded wheat and chaff."
"Ah hope that will na happen to... to you, Scheherezade," he said, looking back to where the young woman was standing with eyes still closed.? Unable to resist, he reached up and smoothed a lock of her hair back into place.? "Ah hope that nothing ill will cross your path as it has that of others."
