The Land Of The Dead

Chapter three: A Manipulative Queen

Eight days later, Glory met with Tyandra again in the woods. "My queen." She greeted with a respectful bow. "Tyandra."

"What may I do for the queen today?"

"Today, I need you as my friend. Not as my subject." Glory started walking towards the woods, Tyandra with confusion, she asked: "your friend?"

"Yes. Now, come along." She gestured with her hand.

Tyandra followed Glory behind. They sat on the branch that Tyandra sat on when Glory saw her using supernatural powers.

"My queen, I'm sorry, but what's the catch?"

"What catch?" Glory asked.

"You calling me your friend."

"Oh, darling. All along, what the hell did you bloody think we were?"

"Uhm... I don't know... Just people who knew each other before you became my queen."

"Don't be silly, we came from England together. So we are more than just people who know each other."

"I guess so... my queen."

"Call me Glory." She smiled.

"Why?" Tyandra chuckled.

"Only when we're alone."

"Okay, Glory."

They smiled and looked at each other momentarily. "You know... I am very jealous of you."

"Me?" Tyandra gave a frown of confusion.

"Yes. You know... that day when I saw you healing yourself. I was shocked at first thinking you were secretly evil." Glory laughed.

"I'm hiding this... because..."

"Because what?"

"Uhm, my-my..." she faked a cough. "My mother was evil. She was gifted, but she used her powers to do bad things."

"And you're using them for good purposes."

"Yes. I promised myself that I will never kill or harm anyone with these powers."

"Smart girl."

They sat there talking for about an hour until they parted ways.

Glory was in her bedroom. She was wandering around thinking. She knew that she had now gained Tyandra's trust, and her plan was to be more powerful and take over the entire kingdom. She knew that she was close to getting into Tyandra's soft side, after she had threatened to expose her to their people.

The following day, they met again in the woods. "If I didn't know any better, my queen, I'd say the king is boring you." They both laughed.

"I can't be surrounded by men, all day. I'm not a whore," Glory smiled.

"What is it like?"

"What is what like?"

"This new be'er life that you're living."

"Uh, dear, it is beautiful. In addition, I want to tell you a secret." They leaned their heads towards each other. "The king's cock is doing an extra excellent job," she whispered.

Tyandra wheezed in a gasp as she leaned backwards. "My queen." She seemed amused, yet curious.

"Don't tell anyone."

"I swear on my life."

Glory had everything going on track, everything that she was saying to Tyandra was everything that she had planned.

Now that she had realized that Tyandra was growing soft on her, she knew that Tyandra was at a state of spilling out even secrets. So this was her chance.

"Witchy."

"Yes, my queen."

"Glory. Please."

"I always seem to forget that."

"Tell me about your mother."

"What about her?

"How did she become evil?"

"She was hungry for more power, so she..."

"You can tell me."

They made a passing eye contact, Tyandra was ashamed to tell. "She, uhm, she summoned... she summoned a demon."

"Those things are real?!"

Glory was acting ignorant while all along she knew about this rumour that was being spread about. She was so close to finally getting what she wanted.

"Yeah."

"How did she do it?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"Because I'm curious."

"Well, uh... she took five black candles and placed them in the form of a star, and a red one in the middle. She then called out to it and then it appeared."

"Here I am thinking that was all just a bunch of myth."

Tyandra chuckled, "its name is Shinobia."

"What?"

"The demon's name, it's Shinobia."

"I didn't know they had names."

"Uh, my queen, it's getting late. I should probably go now."

"Yes, me too."

They both stood up, Glory flashed a cheeky smile behind Tyandra's back. They parted ways.
