That was all Naylani could see as she looked at this young boy smirking at her. He was barely half her size, but she couldn’t summon the strength to carry out the growing fear and hatred in her heart. Naylani hung her head low, scratching the wooden floor with her nails.

"I did." The young Zoren crouched down in front of her. "I did, Mother."

"It’s a good thing I’ve been so concerned about your health that I did a lot of reading on it. So I know that without it, you’d start having panic attacks, then get anxious, which would eventually turn into crippling paranoia.
