The Witch : The CresentSon Chronicles

Chapter 5

Fate brought the bird to the light. The light woke the lion from the darkness of the land. The darkness brought upon the rulers to mask out the scheming mistress and her hawk. Though the hawk won't stop till the light is dimmed.

She was going mad.
That's at least what she thought. Falling on her knees the pair finally noticed how far she was behind them. They both ran to her. "Hurry, we'll be late." Leo said grabbing her arm. When he pulled she forced herself up, but only managed to stand for a second. Endora's legs met the pavement quickly. "What am I?" she whispered in uncertainty.
With fear.
Her hands were shaking when Leo knelled in front of her. He closed her hands holding them inside his. "I wish I could answer your question. " he began. "But you don't have anything to fear." Robin surprised at her friend's kind words began to rub Endora's back. " I'm not sure what happened but everything will be fine." She then looked at the sky, how the slightest difference she caught showed how much time was wasted.
"We must go." Robin said quickly. Leo helped Endora up and Robin got on the other side of her. They walked together to face what was beyond the stones.

His patience was running thin.
So was his hair.
The king shifted in his seat. Walter did tell the Bailiff about the girl, but when a maid overheard the news spread faster then the messenger could get a message to Imsu in the south. It couldn't be helped for the King heard and requested her presence. The King sat on top of his throne. His family by his side.
"The farm workers should've been here by now." King Henry mumbled to his wife. She placed her hand on his arm trying to calm the veins she could see. "They'll be here. The castle is large." He headed his wife's words sighing. "You are right, but we have a lot of decisions to make."
"It could be a set up father." his daughter said loosely. There has been a Guild that continues to resist all of the laws the king has made. There have been rumors of them trying to overthrow the castle. The Gore of Unity was built off of equality.
Something they just don't understand
The King did consider his daughter's statement. "Hildy that's not always a reason." His son said in defense. "Plus, that will only stress father out more." He ran a hand through his blonde hair. The eldest son sat up straight with his eyes fixed to the door. Not moving a muscle. The queen would worry about her eldest front time to time, but she knew not to have fear. He did look rather bored while his siblings spoke.
There was silence.
Thick silence.
So quiet you could hear the near heartbeat of the king. How it rushed. How he held a child's patience. He sighed heavily and stood up.
"Isaac."
A man who stood near the thrones walked over. The king whispered quietly, but his voice was heard from all corners.
"Take my place."
The queen's eyes wandered to her eldest again. She saw how his hand gripped the arm of the chair as his father stood and left. The man took his spot. His lips curled slightly glancing at the eldest. His blue eyes loathing the sight in front of him.
"Your majesty."
