Tales of the End

chapter,3. it all comes into play

our beautiful kingdom...gone. it was in ruins, the population had dropped by 70%, it was awful, we lost all of our hope. 

"my queens! we are holding the memorial ceremony for the fallen soldiers, healers and citizens at the fall of the moon." the royal guard said to the queens. " Thank you, please tell the handmaidens to get the children ready for the ceremony" queen Isabella ordered from the royal guard. as the guard left queen Isabella looked over to queen Elysium . "my love, how are you feeling?" the queen asked her wife, who had been grieving over the death of the cavalry captain, her best friend. when she finally spoke, she spoke a cold, sorrowful tone. "Let's get ready now". elysium said as she left the throne room, a single tear rolling down her face, burning her skin lightly. 

After they got ready in their traditional funeral attire, white and chorus fruit purple attire. They went down where they were met with the maids beside each kid they were assigned to serve. the oldest child, Eros. he is a sweet soul, he is known as a match maker to some. he is barely about to be an adult soon, he is 17, and is extremely tall 10'5, he is studying to inherit the kingdom one day. the middle child, Artemis. she is very calm and collected in her training, but is a very anxious person, they do not wish to have a role on the throne, she wants to be the grand master of all enderian knights, she is 15, and shes on the shorter side of enderian kind; 6'9. And our last child, Ranboo, is taking a liking to enchantments, they are only 6 tho; they are 5'2, which is pretty tall for their age. all of our children lined up and ready for the ceremony, with tears streaming down their face. " your majesties, your chariot is here", "thank you, well be on our way now".

after they got into the chariot, the atmosphere was sad, but warm, they were a close family and they always stuck together. especially during times of grief. all of a sudden Ranboo broke the silence , " i miss uncle jean  (eugene the cavalry captain)"  " me too sweetie" queen elysium sad in her sorrowful tone trying to mask her grief; not doing it very well. as she finished speaking they arrived at the ceremony. all of the members of the royal family had to say a speech for the soldiers and citizens lost in battle, up first was the youngest member, but since ranboo was only 6 they didn't need to. so their sister went first; she gave her speech, along with eros, and queen isabella. up next was queen elysium, "we have lost many of our loved ones, we are all grieving, together, we are all hurt and we miss all of our fellow brothers, and sisters", "ehem"? a snarky remark from ranboo behind her. causing some of the citizens to chuckle a bit at the nonbinary's  remark as the queen continued her speech, " we will miss them, we will miss our family it was an honor to have spent this life time with them all, but as a family we wish them a much more peaceful life with the mystic mother of death, we hope she takes care of them all and gives them the relaxation they deserve. we will never forget you, we promise". and with that the final hour of the ceremony was over and now the just prayed to their gods to take care of their loved ones.

on their way back they felt warm and happy, but still sad with a bit of emptiness. it was a good ceremony, they regained a bit of the peace they had lost. they all prayed to their gods, mostly their mother of death. when they got back to the castle they all went to bed. all calm and quiet, with no idea of what was happening in the over word. not a single clue in the world.
