Tosha had fluffy, dark brown curls that framed her pretty face perfectly, with full cheeks that were in a near perpetual state of blushing. She was eager to be swept away to become the wife to some fleabitten brute, and was entering womanhood enthusiastically, as were all of Katia’s sixteen-year-old friends.  \n“Did you lose all your good sense when your chest swelled up? We swore to never become like those blockheaded cows moaning for ahusband.” Katia wiggled into her final piece of body armor.  \nTosha yanked the leather strap at the back of Katia’s breastplate.“Nay, it was you who swore that oath. I still think being a wife and mother is purpose well enough for me. Whoever filled your head with useless drivel about the pitfalls of wifehood did you no favors.”  \nLately, Katia was beginning to think that her dearest friend was lost to her and would never understand.“Argh! Tosh, my—”  \nCutting the disagreement short, her friend placed her hand lightly on Katia’s shoulder and locked eyes with her in the looking glass, her face sober, her big brown eyes suddenly filling with fear.“A cloud hangs heavy over you, Kat.
