Title: Freedom
Rating: G
Prompt #8: Strange Bedfellows
She sees a glimpse of the girl she was, in Zaimid's child-bride. Bell-like laughter and blithe eyes. Only, to Sarai, Carthak is freedom, not an empress's gilded cage. They ride across the desert-strips bordering the summer-palace. Her veil slides off and she shrieks, spurring her horse faster on, unheedful of the other ladies-in-waiting. For a moment, the empress's heart twists.
But then Kalasin draws rein and rides back to her husband's side.
