“What do you think of the portrait?” Rene asked his paramour, Lady Marie Everart.

Marie looked at the portrait. It portrayed Bronde on the Great Hill with his hands to the sky, the moment he found out that he was the son of God.

“It’s great,” Marie said smiling.

Rene turned away from her. Marie moved closer to the painting. She wondered if Bronde had been content with his life before the Revelation. Did he feel like she felt now? Like there was something beyond this life she held?

Marie sighed softly. Would she ever feel content with life again?

I like the restlessness here, and the unhappiness. Nicely done.
