The Enchanted Girl
She sits on a throne in a twilight dream world between two monstrous warlords. No words are spoken, but she may not leave. They sit in a thorn forest of evil and dark things, Faces are half seen in the shadows, and in the distance, a curlew calls. They have no names, but they are bound together until they are undone. The sorcerer's spell has bound them here as revenge for some ill that he said they had done. What their crime was, no=one knows. They must sit in dark silence and hope that one day they will be free.
