A thick fog had rolled into the highlands that morning, covering everything in a mist that blocked out the sun. It was grey, gloomy, and silent save for the distance call of the ravens and the fish splashing in the pond. A solitary figure walked along the bank, her long black hair trailing down her green gown as her bare feet sank into the mud. She enjoyed this time of day when there was no one to bother her.
Emma Campbell had lived a lot of life in her twenty years. She had been born in Scotland, but had served in the court of the English queen for years. In fact, she had been the prince’s lover and even carried his child briefly, but when that pregnancy had ended she was sent away so he could focus on his duties to the throne. That is how she found herself back in her father’s lands, those that adjoined the area of Inverlochly.
She had heard stories of the man that ruled Inverlochly. He was young, he was handsome, and he was married to a woman that had lost her mind. She had yet to see the young man, and after what had happened in London, she wasn’t sure that she wanted to get into another relationship so soon. She looked out over the loch and sighed softly, her blue eyes taking in the water which was smooth as glass.
A barking cry came from next to her and she turned to see a raven looking at her with a quizzical expression. She grinned and bent down, picking up the giant bird and holding it calmly in her hands. They stared at one another, understood each other and she chuckled softly. Who knew it would be a bird that understood her the most…
