Morning filters softly through the window.
I blink, letting the calmness settle in for a moment. The new flowers outside my window splash vibrant colors into the room. The sun is shining brightly as it greets us to another day. Ivy is still sleeping, curled up peacefully next to me. For a moment, it feels like none of the fights or deaths ever happened.
Careful not to wake Ivy, I slip out of bed and dress quietly.
I throw on a button-down shirt and some nice pants. Now that I am Baron of Mistfall, I assume I have to look more the part. Once my clothes are on and my teeth brushed, I walk down the stairs to the first floor. The living room and kitchen look cleaner than before. It feels more alive.
