Heal me

The sounds of swords clashing against one another rang like music in the air , she kept running never looking back,for looking back meant she'd fall , she didn't want to fall. It was a sight many would not have believed to happen, Maria Alana, the princess of Marsa was running like a common slave without shoes , it would have been hilarious to think about was it not happening in reality . “ get her !!! ” the voices screamed behind her , making her run faster , she must escape them , she didn't know where exactly she was going but running was the only thing keeping her from potential death and so even if she was running towards the moon it was fitting. It all started with her father's bad choices, a darned marriage choice that should never have been suggested . Her father's greed gave way for the fall of the great Marsa. Right before her eyes ,her kingdom was being reduced to mere rubble's and chaos , women running in all directions and children crying hopelessly, the men were d

something smelt like herbs, or was it brewed tea mixed with herbs? it smelt comforting. do dead people drink tea ? she felt patched , would they offer her a tea cup should she ask ? “ she's awake Empress ” she heard someone say. was her mother alive ? was she going to be reunited with her ? she smiled , until she felt cold water on her face shattering her cocoon of darkness. the light hurt her eyes at first until it began readjusting to the light , perhaps she had been in darkness too long that light felt strange. her eyes adjusted to show the most beautiful woman she had ever met standing in front of her. blonde hair packed up with some strands falling down, eyes green like the forest and thin lips. she was a sight to behold that maria kept looking until a scowl formed on the woman's face transforming something so beautiful into something hideous. .“ it is disrespectful to look upon royalties like that, do you want your eyes gauged out. "? the beauty said making her embarrassed. r

the sun made it's presence known by illuminating the room she slept in. she couldn't sleep a single bit last night. how does one who knew the end of Thier life sleep? she sighed and continued staring at the door. perhaps death would be easier to bear if she accepted the reality but she couldn't. the maid Alena came in with a tray of breakfast. who would eat on the day they are to die ? “ breakfast princess. ” the maid announced cheerfully, all smiles “ stop calling me a princess, it is an abandoned title. ” she admonished but the girl wouldn't stop. “ the palace is happy today princess, our Emperor is coming back home. ” she rolled her eyes . “ oh what a great news the faster he arrives the faster my death would be handed. I am so happy " she said sarcastically, making the maid laugh. “ if you do what I said you would live a day or two“ “ are you crazy? , I don't know how to cure anything. what if he finds out I'm lying. ?“ she asked concerned for her life. “ he won't, until in t

‘ if I sleep this night you live , but if I don't your execution continues tomorrow ’ she breathe out , relief flooded her entire body , she lives ,at least for one night . she could see him smile, faintly tho as though the little smile was meant for her eyes only. the crowd that had gathered to watch her die dispersed quickly as Thier Emperor stood to leave the execution ground. a body hit her's with such force enough to knock her to the ground. “ you live “ Alena squeaked, happier than Maria herself. “ and I would die of suffocation if you do not release me ” Alena released her , still smiling happily. “ any idea how to cure sleeplessness?”. Maria asked to which the smile on Alena's face was completely wiped off . she doesn't know. “ I'm going to die tomorrow .” Maria was certain, if she lived today there was no possibility of her living tomorrow. she's not a Sharma and has never made a single herb in her life. “ at least you live. once there is life , there's always going to oppo

she turned, stairs after stairs and room after room until someone was kind enough to direct her to the Emperor's room. now she stood in front of the Emperor's room staring at the door with her heart pounding, should she knock ? or maybe just enter and drop the herb ,instruct him to drink it and leave. the latter sounds better. she breathe in, then out and then in again “ breathing won't save your head princess, I suggest you walk in ” he said, she dictated humor in his voice. she walked in. “ you knew it was me at the door Emperor? ” , “ you have been standing in front of my door for past an hour tell me marsa's princess what do I owe you? ” “ your herb , to make you sleep ” she answered full of smiles and courteous. “ it smells ” the smiles wiped off “ of course it would smell, what did you expect, it is herbs ” she emphasized on the herbs for him to understand. he laughed, deep and throaty and oh his laugh was doing wonders to her skin , creating goosebumps and making her silly lit
