Sunrunner sat down hard in the chair behind her office desk, staring up at her somber diplomat.
"I'm sorry, Sunrunner."
The missive from Flutter Valley still lay open on the desk.
Your Majesties, Queen Sunrunner and King Sigel--
We regret to inform you that our beloved Queen Windrunner passed away yesterday morning after a sudden illness. King Sundancer died in his sleep later that night, though he appeared well. The funeral will be held as soon as it can be properly arranged and you can arrive.
Yours in sorrow, Princess Windchime
Another note had been tucked inside.
I'm so sorry, sister! This was unexpected. They were both fine, and then....oh. I need you, Sunny. We need you. Come home.
-Windchime
"Pack my things," Sunrunner said softly. "I'm leaving as soon as that's done. Sigel, too..."
"Yes, your Majesty." Dragonrose quietly slipped out of the office and left Sunrunner to disolve into tears.
