Esmeralda slowly lifted her head looking at Navarez giving a small fake smile. Her eyes no longer shined with happiness and glory like it once did.They now were just a dull blue green hue. "Navarez, my brave captain. Even you know that there's a very slight chance we'd escape at the execution." Before she could say anymore, Esmeralda started coughing. She felt weak due to the lack of food and water. Feeling extremely exhausted, she was afraid to sleep.<br/><br/>Dearly missing the sun, her family, everyone else she knew, a tear slowly dripped from her eye making a clear path on her cheek. She even missed her beautiful dapple grey stallion, Valliant. The Bishop probably sold him for the coin he was worth. Her family...She knows what happened to them all too well. The Bishop forced her to watch as his henchmen slaughter each and every one of them.<br/><br/>Taking a deep breath, she did not spoke. She knew she didn't look like herself anymore. Not since they locked her up in here. Her dress was no longer the rich bright red. Her hair was no longer soft and shiny; and her skin was no longer clean and soft. Everything on her was caked in mud and dirt.
