The World of Secfenia

Thea scoffed and shook her head. How could Aileigh be so blind? She did not understand how they had ended up here. Everything had been fine, good even. Now Aileigh questioned whether they were even on the same side. "Of course, I am on your side! I have been on your side since day one. How can ...

The words which were likely meant to calm her anger had the opposite effect. They were now facing each other in the dark room with a wide double bed separating them. If the atmosphere could reflect what was happening between the wives there would be dark storm clouds swirling around them. Deep rumbl...

Thea had never realized that her cousin was familiar with her former archery instructor. She felt a tinge of guilt at this realization, but not too much. Cordelia clearly found the whole story humorous. "But think of the amazing story he can now tell everyone! He can forever tell the world that...

Thea scoffed at the insinuation, the implication that she was jealous of the romantic nature of Aileigh's relationship with Andrzej.

Thea snorted again when she heard Cordelia's comment about valuing her head. At least this time she was not drinking her perry. For the moment she set the glasses down while the alcohol still lingered and burned her nostrils. Their hostess laid out an alternate set of plans which seems much less dan...

The family trip to the Highlands had been exhausting. It was nice to catch up with Cordelia but she hoped that next time she might be able to do so solo. She supposed this was the reality of her life now. Even if she did manage to visit on her own, Cora and Rhozin also had little Winter who was more...

The second glass of perry was readily handed over to Thea so she now sat with a drink in each hand. It was almost like old times. Aileigh requested tea instead of perry which might have raised questions if it was Thea, but for Ailiegh this was not an out-of-the-ordinary request. The conversation mov...
