the fallen matriarch returns

regal, yet defeated; denied the power that was once her right. her body failing, her mind fading; yet she holds her head high, preserving that final vestige of dignity, as she hobbles into the arms of her loved ones. once giving, now receiving, care. her adventuring days are over, now only reminiscence.

she has left her throne for a bed, and a pair of warm slippers, and a cup of tea in the afternoons, just as the sun is beginning to set.
