The world on other side of the grate was upside down. She had to invert herself to stand. Her armor shone in the bright sun, her faithful steed snorted a welcome. Rolling green hills dotted with flowers, shade trees, warm breezes, and white stone castles filled this landscape, a princess’s dream.

“I have no choice, for I am blind. Guards, stand down. Speak, fair knight.”
