Centuries

How It Began: Queen Blake

The kingdoms in the world of Remnant has thrived in peace for decades. Queen Blake Belladonna, the first and only ruler of her land since it was created thirty decades ago, would give her life to keep the other kingdoms from invading her kingdom of Vale.

Dwelling in a castle, though surrounded by servants and guards, has grown lonely. Blake stood in the vestibule of her castle, her black hair pulled back into a low ponytail and wearing the smooth silk of her white tunic, black slacks, and mid-calf high, buckled boots.

"Your majesty," a young, male servant said from behind her. With her posture as regal as usually, Blake turned and recognized the speaker.

"Yes, Sun?"

He bows at a 45 degree angle before straightening again. "Is there a problem, Your Majesty?"
Blake nods and turns back around to watch the servants continue their daily labors. "Yes, Sun. There is." A quick glimpse around the foyer, and she nods in a decision. "I, my friend, am lonely and am in need of a companion." She turns to look back at Sun, her amber eyes hardened with determination, but alight with a hidden youthfulness and joy only close friends, as the blonde, male servant standing in front of her, will be able to see.

Sun blinks. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty?"

Blake grins and claps his shoulder. "Follow me, my old friend, and I shall elucidate to you as to what I mean." As Blake walks toward the large oak doors that lead into the many halls of the castle, she turns back to address the dumbfounded servant. "And as I have told you many times before, when we are surrounded by only the servants and guards, it is not 'Your Majesty'. It makes it sound as if I am nothing more than a case of a woman in a jewel encrusted crown reclining in that incredibly uncomfortable throne. Please, Sun,make me a human and relieve me, for just a moment in time, from this damned curse placed upon me. Please, call me Blake."

Sun walked next to his Queen, their steps in time as they walk through the main hallway leading into the dizzying array of other halls and rooms. Curiosity and confusion rolled off him in waves, and he knew his friend knew it, but, as she was known to do, she had him wait and let the anticipation grow.Eventually, aftera few more anticipation filled seconds, Blake finally said, "AskNeptune to send Adam a message."

Sunraised a blonde eyebrow in confusion. "If I may ask, what for,Your Ma - Blake?"
Blake gave hima small smile. "As I said in the foyer, I am lonely and am inneed of a companion."
"But,you are surrounded by people on a daily basis."
"That,my friend, is true, however a false idea of fellowship. Yes, I amsurrounded by my servants on a daily basis, but what I want is a warmbody that I can hold and will guard me." Blake stopped andturned to Sun. "Please, ask Neptune to contact Adam."
