Dread Captain of the Queen de Rolo

Panel 1: Inside the cottage. Laudna is carefully piecing together shards of colored glass with magic to fill the broken window panes, creating a stained-glass effect that falls across her face.

Panel 2: Outside in the meadow, Imogen is stuffing a straw tick with fresh dried prairie grass. Her arms are bare and freckled in the afternoon sun.

Panel 3: Evening. Laudna is on the roof, repairing the missing boards. The dead tree that had been leaning against the roof is lying on the ground in several lightning-struck pieces, which Imogen is now (with some difficulty) splitting into firewood.

Panel 4: By the stove Imogen takes a bath in the washtub, in which she just fits, enjoying the hot water from their new kettle. Wrapped in a towel nearby, Laudna is brushing Pâté with a toothbrush.
