[SE] crystal balls to the wall

SOHALIA

and there we are again when nobody had to know

Soh knew it was a broad request, and she felt momentarily guilty for not being able to narrow things down for the seer before her. But she didn't just want to know what to do in one aspect of her life, no matter how much she wished she knew how things would play out. Where to go now and what to do next seemed like such a huge, overarching question, but it was the one thing that had plagued her ever since reappearing into the world. Things had always seemed so sure before: she would rule Stormbreak, fall in love, and lead a generally happy and straightforward life.

Now, she seemed destined to die alone as a deposed queen who hadn't been strong enough to maintain her leadership in her region's time of need.

She'd said nothing about her love life, so when Madam Marin referenced her troubles, she blushed faintly. Either the fortune teller was quite good at her job, or something about Soh's issues were so obvious that a crystal ball wasn't needed to see it. At this point, she honestly wasn't sure which it was.

"A change would be welcome," she said softly, watching the crystal ball, looking to see if she could tell what was going on inside it, but seeing only the reflection of Madam Marin's hands. "Can you tell if it would be good or bad? I just - I need to know what to prepare for."

you kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath
