Ashes & Toxins: Toxic Forest Burned Down

Tears Of The Second Wife

"I am not driven by love or affection, but as an unwavering duty that must be fulfilled. A son is what I require, and alas, you shall prove a lackluster wife. None of your fantastical dreams of soaring through the sky shall come to fruition. Instead, it shall be your solemn obligation to carry out the bidding of your husband," A fat ugly bald man speaks his words eloquently, dabbing at his sweat stained forehead with a pink embroidered handkerchief. The crest, a blue pearl sitting on a bed of fox tails. No doubt given to him by someone who dislikes her. Zargeya is constantly reminded of her birth and sex, how she is regarded as a beastly girl and Five's first successful human joke.

"Considering your age exceeds that of my lord father, it is only just and proper for the daughter of the lord paramount Tylong to scrutinize your equipment. Unveil your equipment before all who gather here and demonstrate its functionality. Engage in self-stimulation, my lord. Come now, arouse yourself. Unable to do so? Then you need not suffer any longer. I shall inform my lord father of your incapability. Oh, the depths of sorrow that engulf me! How on earth am I to bestow upon my father the heirs he longs for if you fail to bloom? My lord, I shall retreat to my chamber, where I shall shed tears of melancholy."

Zargeya's eyes welled up with tears, overwhelmed by the weight of her own inadequacy. She mocks her own words, filled with a bittersweet mixture of emotions. Reality is that Zargeya, lacking in looks, grace, and beauty, could only marry a man of advanced years. Her existence as a lady of an island was lackadaisical, devoid of excitement or passion. This union was the final match that her papa has painstakingly sought. Before her stands an older man, burdened with a lamentation for a life that would never intersect with a fertile wife. He sputters a rude remark she refuses to hear.
