When a Head is Bestowed Upon

     The choir sings echo throughout the chapel. I can smell the spices of cinnamon, mint, nutmeg, and other spices fill the air of the chapel. I watch as children walk down the aisle swinging incense candles clearing the way for him. I look at the sun shines through stained glass; painting the floor with colors of blue, red, green, and gold. Along with so many other. People stand outside as well as in the back of the chapel watching the arrival of their future king. My brother.

      I bite the inside of my cheek as I watch him attempt to hide his smug look as he watches the praise he will get every time he'll enter a room now. I watch as women, men, and children all get antsy behind the benches that hold those who arrived hours earlier. Now though, one expression appears on everyone face, as finally their new awaited king arrives to his own coronation, exhaustion. I suck in a breath knowing what now lies for this kingdom, for this nation.

     For me.

    I watch as my brother kneels before the high priest, in white and gold tunics and robes. His golden long hair shining in the sun. His bitter blue eyes smiling as he stares at the ground as his head is tilted before the priest. I can't help but grip the handle of my knife hidden in a pocket of my dress, buried under the creases and layers my dress gives off.

   This man... my brother. This moment. I was suppose to be kneeling there. I was suppose to be the leader of this land. A protector for my people. Now though, now we must all watch as this madman claims the thrown.

   I watch as the priest lifts a golden goblet of anointing oil beginning to speak his prayer in Latin.

   "May the lord bless our new king that is brought upon the thrown. The lord says that he brings into power by his command and power that we follow the authorities laid before us," The Priest speaks over him.

   "Dagon it is my power as well as the lords will that you may be the new ruler of the land," The Priest pours the holy anointing oil over his head and I feel anger rise in me like a burning fire as I watch the lust of power fill Dagon's eyes. It's only a matter of hours. Hours you have to stand before you become his queen. A disgusting thought to think about still, but everything was planned out in the evening of our fathers death.

   The court believed that our royal blood should stay in the family. That Dagon and I should be wedded. Enraged and disgusted from the court requesting this but as well as how willingly Dagon went for the plan. A plan that still makes me sick to my stomach. But it has been planned out. Dagon will become king and it is straight to the ceremony of our marriage. Once at dinner I have the narcotics in my ring to pour in his cup at dinner, to have him lying dead on the floor before he can even reach the bed.

    It's the perfect plan to claim my birthright. That I am the rightful heir to this kingdom, that I am... the door to church groan as they are forced open. Splitting the standing crowd like the Red Sea. All of our heads turn and I see Dagon jumping to his feet while the priest holds my fathers crown halfway midair. What is this? Everyone is silent and from the look on my brothers face he is as confused as I am. I watch as people in the crowd and rows step back further as if a plague would attack them if they stayed where they stood. As the row behind me steps back I understand why.

   A Dane slowly but surely walks his way down the aisle with a... a guards head dangling from the grip the Dane has on his hair. Allowing blood to trail the aisle of the church. The man wears brown leather trousers with a long sleeve deep blue tunic that goes to his mid thigh. Over that he has a tightly embroidered leather vest meeting the length of his tunic slightly short. He has belts holding pouches and knives along his two axes that hang off of belt loop on either side of his hips. Leather arm guards with pressed in symbols and letters that I cannot read. With a circular shield pinned to his back. He wears black bear fur around his shoulders with his tribes crest pinning the clothing together. His face is a full raven black beard with black long raven hair braided as well. As he steps closer he is calm and quiet. As if he is just taking a walk in the woods.

   When he steps close I can finally see his face. He has a right dark grey eyes with a left deep sapphire blue. His nose is sharp but with a slight rounded end. His face is nearly overwhelmed with the beard that I can't tell the shape hold his face fully. But I can see the scar that crosses his right eyes. His presence weighing the atmosphere of the room. I can't help but grip my knife, but the moment I did, the mans eyes grazed mine before looking back at my brother.

    He's quiet but tosses the guards head to my brothers feet. The man opens his mouth. Giving almost a husky mix accent of Scottish and Anglia.

    "Don't worry about calling your guards. They're preoccupied at the moment," he says as he glances at me again. 

to be continue...
