The Keeper of the Gate

She looks strong and stoic and capable of anything.

She wears confidence like stone.

But her eyes...

Her eyes frighten me and I wonder if she wishes me harm.

I wonder if she's sad;

Or if she's just seen too much evil in her time that she had to pluck out her own eyes to keep from going insane;

Or perhaps this a form of punishment, a penance for her own sins that finally caught up with her.

I wonder.

I wonder if she'll ever be free.

And I wish that for her.

I wish her peace.
