“This is where the holy man said your mother stopped the great war, princess.”
“How?” She asked in confusion.
“There is only one way to find out.” He said as he tried to grab her by her arm. she evaded the gesture and took a step back only to be met by the two guards. “Tie her to the podium !” He snapped and the guards did his bidding.
“No! Please!” She struggled against them, but it was futile.
The General caressed her face and she felt hot tears of frustration running out of the corner of her eyes.
“Why are you doing this?”
“It’s simple really. I want power, and you my dear, will give it to me. A
She heard his footsteps. He was leaving her here, with these things. She once again tried to wiggle, but it was no use. She looked in the opposite direction and saw the journals. They had them both now, her mothers and Baptistes.She dreaded what was to come.“Ah, very clever.” She heard one of the evil monks say, as he read both journals simultaneously at an alarming rate.“Vander, what did you find?”Another one asked.“The General’s source was correct. The stone is hidden inside of her. The Queen performed a forbidden ritual on the Princess. It says here: nisi quod verum est de actum donandi erit reserare gemma perfer euntis in medio sui.”
She felt her body convulsing as the hot white pain seared through her.”“Please ! Stop! You're killing me !” She screamed in between gut wrenching gasps. When she could open her eyes she saw their eyes had went from a bright white and were now red. They were still chanting.“My heart, my mother; my heart, my mother. My heart of my life upon earth. May naught rise up against me in judgm-”She closed her eyes as the pain washed over her in waves. She had lost control of her body and was about to lose consciousness when she heard a loud blast. She turned her head as best she could in the direction of the noise and saw a large, floating ball of fluorescent blue light appear from out of nowhere. Sh
Flossina awoke startled. She had had a horrible dream. She dreamt that she had married General Torunn, and he had let evil monks perform a forbidden ritual on her to retrieve the Jewel of Humanity, and while they did Marlon came back from the dead by materializing out of thin air and saved her. She looked around the room. It hadn’t been a dream. She saw his face again . It was marlon. His yellow eyes looked down at her and he smiled at her. She realized she was in his arms then. She sat up and saw the dead evil monks strewn on the stone floor around them.This all had been real. Marlon had materialised from thin air and saved her. She was so happy to see him, and the words Khepri had said to her weeks ago resounded within her. She felt all the sadness, all the longing, and all love that she thought had died with him bubble up within her until she could n
“I love you Marlon, and I will be Queen. I cannot change either of those things.”He hadn’t realized how dejected she had felt about him not wanting to be intimate with her. He had been trying to be noble and follow the rules of society. In retrospect he realized he had pushed her away at a very fragile time in her life. He gently took her by her hand pulled her up against the length of him and kissed her with all the pent up love, passion, and longing he felt for her since they met. He had fought for her in the valley of the dead. He could not deny that he loved her more than life itself, and he would always be her protector and the man she could depend on. Their mouths devoured each others while their tongues mated. Her slender arms slipped around his neck and his hands were gently holding her close to him. She felt thinner than he had reca
Flossina had run to her room unnoticed, and quickly changed her attire making sure to bathe her face and wrists, which stung like holy hell. She soaked the dirt off of her feet and put on the black satin stockings and slippers to hide the marks left on her ankles from the shackles. She wore a purple, satin long sleeved, v-neck gown that made her complexion look golden. She stood at the entrance of the throne room hearing the disruptive chatter that the General could not seem to control.The Lords of the court were in an uproar. They were worried. The King had promised them riches and favors for their resources and coffers and now he was dead.“Justice for the King !” One Lord shouted.The crowd cheered in agreement.“I will not pledge my all
“I only have my Kingdom left. Lord Azelle, you doubt my abilities, but I assure you my mother taught me well. You and I want the same thing. Justice for these unspeakable deaths, and peace in our land. Yes, this is our land. Not mine, but ours. Pledge your allegiance to me not because of the deeds of what my parents did before me, but on my own merit, on the hope that I will make sure we stand strong and united as my parents did, and take comfort in knowing that whoever is doing these hideous deeds will be punished. I am strong, capable, and above all I love my country. Thank you.”She stood there stoic, looking straight ahead.Then she saw it. One lord removed his sword and layed it in front of him and knelt,signifying his pledge to her. Then another and another,
No matter his fate she still had to worry about her own. At first the Lord just stood there.The General then unsheathed his sword and spoke.“She’s waiting.”The Lord looked miserable. He had never been one to grovel or beg. The Princess's mother had always ignored his rousing and always proved her worth in any and all royal duties. That would be no more. He would have to prove his worth now. His title and lands could be stripped from him. He really disliked the General ever since he had been inducted into the Royal Military service, two decades ago. Lord Azelle had always thought he was a self serving psychopath and right now he could see that was exactly what he was. No one else would say anything about it because they wanted to ke
“Guards! Take Lord Azelle to the dungeon, now! I believe a stay there will change his mind.”The guards looked at her then at the General, when he nodded they nodded and picked the Lord up off of the marble floor and carried him out. It was just them in the room now. He turned around then and looked at her with that icy gaze she had come to associate with the pain he inflicted on her.“You little bitch! How dare you give me orders in front of anyone!” He strode up the steps then grabbed her by her wrist and yanked her hard. She almost fell. He yanked again and she did. The unnatural way he held her arm made it strain even more with the angle he was holding it. She was kneeling in front of him now. He twisted her wrist and she cried out in pain. “You like this. If you didn’t you wouldn't disobey me so much.”
