“Ah, I see you have overcome the desert of sorrow.” She stroked his feathered breast. He thought it would feel awkward but it didn’t. It felt comforting. “You have a strong spirit, Marlon.”
He flew off of the perch that was her shoulder and stood in front of her. When his feet touched the ground he was transformed back into his full human form once more. He was happy for that. Being in hybrid bird form had felt strange, but freeing. He touched his bare chest and saw that he was back to adorning the outfit he had started this journey on. The book was tucked between his gold belt and the white linen kilt he wore.

“This is your final judgement. Although you are not of royal blood my brother insists that this is the only way. Had you just not conquered the desert of sorrow I would be worried, but now I understand.” She took him by his hand and held it in hers as she pushed open the door.He followed her inside.The room’s walls were a charcoal black. Three large torches sat atop gigantic, black alabaster pillars that had the same gold inscriptions that the door had. He heard low singing. A song similar to the one the Royal Lamenters sang for the Queen when she had passed on. It felt somber here. He had forgotten that Khepri was the one leading him through this large somber chamber. He became enthralled with the beast that was slowly stalking him. The atmosphere and gravity of his situ

“Are you ready my son?” He asked Marlon.Marlon knew he had no choice. He had to finish this. He had wasted enough time in the afterlife. Flossina needed him. He nodded ‘yes’, and without saying another word the King stuck his hand into Marlon’s chest. It did not hurt like he thought it would and he was able to watch as the King held the still beating object in his hands and placed it on the left scale. He put a single white feather on the right scale. As he did Marlon saw the greedy animal sitting greedily underneath the right side of the scale waiting. Marlon wondered if he would feel the pain when the beast ate his blackened heart. That thought seemed to make this situation feel more dire. The King took a step back as the objects battled on the scale, moving up and down slower and

The wedding that Flossina had been threatened with by both the General and her stepfather, the King, had finally arrived. There was only three hours left until she was to be dressed, primped, and presented like a prize mare to her betrothed and the entire Kingdom in a wedding she did not want. Her lady’s maid Alexi seemed more excited about the wedding than she was and it was all starting to annoy her more than she cared to admit. She’d been back at her home for a full week now. Everything seemed to be calm and back to normal on the surface.After her stepfather had pardoned her in front of the royal court it was as if magically, nothing had ever happened.

“Everything will be alright, Princess.” The old woman smiled at her. She had kind eyes. “I will have the flowers ready.” She let go of her hand, and Flossina and Alexi left the green house.Flossina wanted privacy. In only a few hours time she would be a married woman. Honor bound to her stepfather and to a man who had killed her mother and the love of her life. Marlon. His warm yellow eyes that always watched her popped into her thoughts. Those strong hands that healed more than they harmed. He haunted her. He was gone.She had to stop thinking about him.The guards opened the door to her bedchamber and she and Alexi walked inside only to be surprised to see that the General was there already, alone. He was sitting on her chaise with that arrogant smirk he seemed to wear on his face ever sin

“See you in a few hours Princess, and don’t forget to look happy.” He said as he took a step back, turned and walked out of the room without so much as a second glance.She felt her knees give way and she fell to the ground. He was a horrible man, and he was right. She had no one to come to her aide. No one to be her champion this time. She had to endure whatever he had planned for her. That thought didn’t sit well with her. She would find a way to kill him and end this all. She had nothing left to lose.She began to take slow,deep, steady breaths. Seconds later she slowly stood up and walked over to her bed and sat the box of jewels down upon it. They were her mother’s. She smiled at that thought. She recalled when she was little and her mother wore the gold stone ea

“Yes, you are right he is all the things you say, but nevertheless. I must marry him.”“I understand.” Alexi said simply.Flossina stood up, walked past Alexi and began to pace the length of her room. A few moments later there was a knock on the door.Alexi went to see who it was. She smiled and announced her.“Your Highness, Ms. Agnes to see you.”Seconds after Alexi’s announcement the old woman walked in holding a lovely bouquet of Lilies, ivy and myrtle. Flossina quit pacing and smiled kindly at the old woman. She then walked over to her bedchamber doors to see if they were closed, they were, she walked back over to her.&ld

She reached over and took hold of the old woman’s right hand gently. The old woman seemed touched by the gesture. She patted the top of Flossina’s, then stood up, and spoke again.“Your mother loved her garden. It is now yours.”“True. I’ve never been very good at gardening.” She smiled, recalling the times she’d help her mother and end up covered in dirt.“Your mother also used it to escape the pressure of the palace and to think.”“Ah, I see.” The memory of her mother choked her up suddenly. She cleared her throat from the tears she was constantly holding back. “She was a wonderful woman, wasn't she? Not just a wonderful Queen, but a lovely person. I will miss her everyday. Especi

She remembered who she was marrying and why. All joy felt like a distant memory. In its place a throbbing pain she could not bear, but she would have to.“You look lovely, Your Majesty.” Alexi was smiling at her in the mirror.“Thank you.” She hoped her gratitude sounded genuine.“What did I tell you…”Alexi rushed on.“I know what you said ma'am but the General would prefer if I call you by your official name. This will also be my last night attending to you.”Those words frightened her. He was making sure she felt alone and isolated. He couldn't even wait until after the ceremony. She saw the look of disappointment on the young girl’s face. She had grown fond of her in the days they had become acqua

The Jewel Of Humanity A Toast...
Flossina had to admit she was impressed at how beautiful and delicious all of the food looked. It had been made in record time. For this occasion she had decided to wear the one of the wedding gifts General Torunn had given her.
