Misery was a wanderer. There had been places, blessed ones like Khalif but most of all Chimera that had held her, but in her heart she lived to see new places. Her exploits in souls would leave an interregnum back at home, but Misery cared little of it. Little Wicca de le Poer would play her part and keep the peace, and Misery was free to live as she chose. If the little black and white niece of hers chose to steal her place, Misery cared little. Leading the Khalif was not her dream. That made her far too much like her damned father Sukan, and she hated him. Hated his filthy hands and his bright eyes. Misery had enjoyed killing him in a way that she couldn't describe. It was terrible to enjoy it though, so that murder was a private pleasure. It wasn't as if anyone would have missed the white fool anyway.
The water was beautiful. The journey had been difficult thanks to the jagged rocks, but she was stubborn. A faint scrape adorned her bad right leg, but it was a welcome price. The tranquility of the serene sands seemed to be unrivaled. It reminded her of places she had long loved in a different time and place. A place where a mighty beast named Chimera had reigned. But that was gone. Over and faded into the past, she doubted anyone else remembered. But Misery would always reminder the moaning woods and the Kings she had loved there. Her Crimson King, beloved and with her still. A gunslinger had come and taken it when he had fallen, and Misery had kept her distance from the Queen. But then the son of the Crimson King, a pale Prophet and pseudoson had assumed the throne and things had been good again. But thinking of the past would get her nowhere, and Misery closed her bright eyes, ears perked to catch the sound of the water gently lapping at the shore.
