Gwenn PovYesterday was the first night in a long time that I didn’t sleep in the same room with Arius but it was understandable because yesterday was busy for the both of us. He was busy with planning and the rest and when it got to sleeping time, he sent me on my way to bed since he decided that he was not going to go to bed until he was done with the preparation with his council. After he had forced me to leave, I went to my room and search through the golden queen journals, I didn’t have enough time to read everything but what I did read was that something like this had happened before and although I didn’t get majority of her writing but I had enough to make the scroll which told majority of the story and another problem of mine was that it was told from her perspective and she didn’t view it as much trouble, she was more concerned about a council member who was ‘tainting’ everybody. I slept with mixed message and incomple

“I will be going on a journey starting tonight.” I announced in the throne room, where all of us where having our breakfast, the council, the commanders, the royal family and even Silana chose to be present which was a good thing because I didn’t want to tell her separately. I didn’t have the time to go around looking for her. Just as I expected the room exploded into a canopy of complaints. I waited it out as they all talked at the same time, all saying the same thing in different words about why it was a bad choice. “You want to run away with your lover while you have succeeded in poisoning my brother.” Catia yelled and that is what I heard. I leaned towards her as my eyes flashed golden.“If I were you I would be very careful of words that come out of your mouth because your brother is not here to stop me from hurting you. I did not poison my husband and anybody who suggest that anymore to my face will see

Gwenn pov“Alal, time is of the essence, I know that but you have to help these people, they are your people. Doing well will cement your reign, you know that.” Silana suggested as I watched as giant rocks fell from the top of the cave to cover the mouth of it.I couldn’t help stopping in every town on our way, to help the people in the settlements with few of their problems. Almost every town had some issue or another. One had a well that had dried up and the villagers thirst was increasing, I helped with getting the well flowing again by channeling a river to it … I didn’t even know all the intricacies of what I did but I knew that I made the villagers life better. This people problem was more on the side of the unnatural, one of those whom I think, I might have awakened. A beast comes out of this cave at night and eat the food crops of the villagers, no matter where they are hidden.  The logical thing to do afte

Gwenn povSomething was wrong and I felt it, someone had just died and this person was closed to me, I jumped up from my bed just as Silana screamed and her eyes went open. “Who?” I asked Silana who shook her head at me. “I am sorry Gwenn. So sorry.” She added as Tears came down from her eyes. I would have demanded to know more if my attention was not taken from her. The air felt wrong. “What’s going on?” I asked Silana. “Death, the reign has come.” Silana replied, her words and the somber way she said it sent chills down my spine. “All that is left is that you find what you seek and return before Northshore will be left with nothing.” Silana said.Adela brushed her body against mine and when I looked at her, she moved towards the door. “I have to go?” “You have to continue your journey from here by yourself a

 “What is going on?” Catia approached me the moment, I entered. I watched as our other siblings eyed us, my brothers especially. They must have guessed what was.  “What mother wanted for me.” I replied my sister. I watched as Catia eyes farrowed as she tried to reason what I said. I saw the exact moment she understood. The joy in her gaze and then she hugged me.  “I am happy brother. Congratulations.” She replied before she went back to our siblings.  I walked to the throne, the direction which everybody was facing and in front of everybody, I sat down in the seat meant for Yama. Utter silence filled the room, regardless of the people in it. All eyes on me as they realized that this was me over throwing my brother. “Any questions?” I asked.  “What about the king…” A Mareikura asked
