The Queen's Darkness

Aelin

    The world was dark again as it had been down in the mines.
    Aelin knew she was in an iron coffin rather than the salt mines of Endovier, but that didn't stop the blackness from crushing her.
    She felt the coffin being jostled and moved for a bit, but eventually she was set down and hadn't been moved for she didn't know how long.
    Straining against the iron around her face, her wrists, and her ankles Aelin tried to gather her fire but not even an ember flickered from within her. There was nothing within her and nothing around her but the blackness. And the pain.
    Pain pulsed in her back from where she had been whipped. Blood still soaked the pants she had been wearing. With all the iron around her, her body had not been able to heal itself.
    So Aelin focused on the pain, stared in the blackness and brought back the trick she had used so long ago in the salt mines to stay sane.
My name is Aelin Ashryver Galathynius.
I am friend.
    I am wife.
    I am mate.
    I am queen.
    I am fire.
    My name is Aelin Ashryver Galathynius.
I will not be afraid.

Please let me know what you think :))
