2021-07-14 06:33:34She knew she would never feel that way about anyone ever again. He had, at least, died a hero and left her with an heir. Their child. A beautiful baby girl she named Flossina. Her heart was still broken and filled with grief, but her duty demanded she remarry, and so she had. She chose Fvendal, a warrior from a poor, yet strong Kingdom, who aided in the conquering of the SheHaalte’s, The enemy who had almost destroyed Zuff, two neighboring Kingdoms south and murdered her King.
Bihadlly thought it only right to marry their most valiant Commander and Chief warrior to show her gratitude and solidify their bond. She had hoped the union would also solidify her position as Queen among her own people, instilling trust and hope back into them, but now, she herself was unsure. They had been married only a few months. The people had loved Tehxadlayk as much as she. He had turned out to be a true King and a kind man, not only to her but to the people.
Now, she stood over her small infant daughter with tears streaming down her face. She had placed the small bundle on the alter. The baby didn’t move. The High Chancellor took out a red stone from his pocket and placed it in the center of the infant’s chest. He then took his position, which was him standing in front of the altar with his hands in a praying position.
His rosary beads were also wrapped around his hands. She knew it was the only way to keep her Kingdom and her child safe, even in the event of another war. She did what she felt was right. Then the High Chancellor recited the ancient words, and the red jewel glowed like a bright ember.
"A caelo usque ad centrum. A capite ad calcem. A mari usque ad mare. A posse as esse. Ab antiquo. Ab extra. Abhinc. Ad lucem !"
The stone moved from its place, and began to levitate a few feet in the air, spinning with lightning speed above the sleeping baby.
The High Chancellor once again spoke and recited the ancient words, "Ad lucem! I conjuro te!"
An orange light burned bright inside of the jewel, giving off a red powerful glow. Bihadlly wasn't Queen of Zuff, in that moment. She was just Bihadlly, a mother afraid for her baby and family legacy. She had no choice, she kept reciting to herself. She stood a few feet away and watched the small bundle as the Jewel spun and glowed abov her only child.
The High Chancellor recited more ancient words, "Absit inuria."
Then Flossina began to glow until she was a bright white light. The light slowly began merging with the red light from the jewel. Queen Bihadlly watched as her small child rose up from the alter. The spell the High Chancellor had cast was worKing. The Jewel of Humanity would be locked inside of her daughter.
Protected. No one would ever guess it. She watched as a great burst of pink light filled the chamber and in one brief flash, it was done. Her baby was still sound asle on the altar. She picked up her child then and looked at her Royal Advisor.
"Your Majesty, it worked. We can rest safely."
"Yes, High Chancellor, we can... for now..."

The Jewel Of Humanity Where Am I?
Princess Flossina focused in and out of consciousness. She kept hearing a loud, sound, similar to crashing. She also felt a strong hand holding the back of her neck in place while pressing something cold to her lips, forcing her to drink something, which was bitter tasting and sticky. She wanted to spit it out, but she couldn’t move. Her body was in so much pain. Whatever she was drinKing seemed to stick to her insides and melt into her. She could feel her insides stinging and moving as she was forced to continue to drink the unknown contents. She felt excruciating pain shooting through her body. She didn't know if she screamed out or not, so overwhelming was it. Her eyes felt too heavy to open. Where was she? She asked herself. Even in her mind, asKing that question seemed to take forever to develop into one cohesive thought.

The heaviness of her eyelids seemed to overpower her ability to keep them open. She was overcome with one last wave of pain and she passed out unconscious once again.When next she awoke, she was in a large room laying in a bed, under a soft fur blanket. She sat up, surveyed the room frantically,trying to remember what had happened before. She saw no Royal Guards or the man that seemed to be helping her, only a wall made up of wooden shelves with thick, leather bound books. Some of the shelves were in her line of vision. With snifters and containers with various powders and ingredients. It looked like she was inside of a healers bedchamber. Her sudden movements made her head feel like it was splitting open.How did she get here? And how long had she been knocked out? What had knocked her out? The last thing she

She wouldn't marry a complete stranger and be shipped off somewhere else because he didn’t want to give up what was rightfully hers in the first place.She had never let anyone know, but she couldn’t stand her Stepfather. He appeared kind and brave to everyone else, but she could see through him. He was power hungry. She was to rule over Zuff, just as her mother had, and her mother had before her. She would serve the people and guide them, do her royal duty by upholding the peace of the land, but she would only do that as the rightful Queen of her home, and none other. Her stepfather would have to come to grips with that. They all sat down at the table and began their evening meal and that's as far as her memory went.She looked down at her clothing and realized they weren't hers, and there wasn’t a

When the physician saw the large amount of gold bullion he was overjoyed and happily taught Marlon everything he knew, which took two years, but finally the man made him recite the ancient oath a healer took, thanked him again for his generosity and disappeared. For three more years after that he had bided his time playing the part by day and thinKing of ways to seek out his revenge by night. The first task was killing the King

He had the Princess on his exam table heavily sedated and in need of more healing. He would have to move her soon. He tried to not rush his neighbor as to not give any indication something was amiss."I will keep an eye out then. Grave robbers are on the move again selling body parts. I'm sure a Princesses corpse will sell for a pretty penny. I could ask around if they know anything when I am at the trading post?" He hoped he sounded convincing."Aye, Marlon.

A fierce, black dragon appeared from out of nowhere, catching them just twenty feet before they were to hit the ground, and they were off to safety.***Now he stood here, in his private chambers, at dusk with the red and orange ombre sky as a backdrop, looking at her, after just delivering the horrible news of her mother’s death. He could see she was about to fall apart. He saw the unshed tears of sadness welling up in her big gray eyes. A telling trait of her innocence. No one could act this good, he thought. She looked so lost and confused to him. Her voice was quiet but regal. He wondered if she even noticed it. He felt like an ass."My mother is dead? And I..." She couldn't say the words."Committed the crime." He
