Once upon a time, I fell in love.

I mean... that's what we're supposed to do, right?

Fall in love, usually at first sight.

Fight through the depths of hell to keep that love when the gods want to take it away from us.

Declare that love through marriage and commitment, children and family.

And then what?

What's that love supposed to get you?

Safety. Security.

The promise of forever.

At least that's what the stories want you to believe.

But what happens when the love is gone?

When the safety of commitment and the security of family are no longer enough?

What do you do when you're a princess without a kingdom?

Alone and ashamed when you have to return to your parents with a babe on your hip and another on the way.

Who do you blame?

Fate? The gods?

No.

For me, it was an elf prince named Thespan.
