She was happy she had took her advice. She had been right. Whenever she was here everyone left her alone. It had become her sanctuary. “You were absolutely right, Agnes. They do look beautiful planted here. She would have loved them. Yellow was her favorite color. However did you get these? They have traveled a long way.”“Aye, they have Your Highness.”They stood in silence then, taKing in the beauty of the greenery and colorful blossoms that cheered her spirits, just as her mother always had. She walked over to the same stone bench she and her mother had shared many times before and she felt the sadness she had been hiding deep within her creeping up again.  Her shoulders slumped. She was so unhappy, and so alone. She felt Agnes

She felt a shiver go down her spine at the morbid thought. She looked at him them. He was surveying her reaction to the hidden tomb behind the maze.“What is this?” She asked him then. “You don’t know?”“Why would I know about this place?”He yanked her hard by her arm then. “Don’t.” He hissed against her ear.“Please, I know nothing about this!”Still holding her upper arm in his hard grip they walked up to the stairs and to the entrance of the tomb. Up close she could smell the aging of the place. It was an old place that smelled of decay. The alabast

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.”

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

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.
