[Margaery]

Once upon a time, Margaery had taken care of a large rose garden she had appropriately deemed 'Highgarden'. She had poured her heart and her soul into the flowers that she had grown with so much love, watering them daily, trimming their weeds, and even cultivating the land in which they lived upon so that visitors might comfortably appreciate them as well. It was her favorite place to be- a sanctuary for her when things got to be too much... and then it was burnt to the ground like it was nothing. She remembered that day vividly, how it felt like her heart was being wrenched from her chest as delicate petals were reduced to ashes. She remembered how the smoke filled her lungs, strangling the life out of her just as it was done to her roses.

What a shame that history had to repeat itself.

The moment she smelt the aroma of burning flowers, she knew something was wrong. Her roses had just begun to bloom too, delicate blossoms sporting all different shades.. her geraniums and lilies were thriving as well- a happy family of flowers that would be nothing but a memory if she didn't get there fast enough. But her lungs weren't cooperating and as much as she wanted to sprint to the scene, she could only go for a short distance without getting winded.

Luckily, she made.

Unluckily, most of the damage had been done.

What surprised her most though was who was at the center of it all. Bastillepaw had been the culprit this time and for some reason, that hurt her more than watching her precious flowers wilt away into nothing.The smoke was once again filling her lungs and she had strayed too close to an open flame, her heart skipping a beat in her chest. She couldn't do this... not anymore.

[color=#b14767]"How could you?" She spluttered, finding that it was getting significantly harder and harder to breathe. She wanted to try to salvage something, anything, but she couldn't... her vision was already darkening, her poor lungs unable to continue to supply oxygen to her brain.

[color=#b14767]"W-Why?"

And then, Margaery fainted.
