“I know. She was powerful, too. She was a Radiant as well. She was a Wind Radiant. Her powers were given to me. I, however, do not ever use them, for I know my father would kill me for them. That is why I hide; always in the shadows.”
“Oh my goodness, Penelope, that is no way to live. You must leave with me now.”
She shook her head sadly. “Unfortunately, I cannot. There are others within these walls who need me here. They depend on me to keep things right and make sure my father doesn’t go crazy on everyone within the grounds. It is okay. I have come to terms with my life, and I am happy with it. One day, my father will not be here, and I will be free to live. You must know about yourself, though. That is why we are here now. Please read.”
