I have completely altered my kingdom. I placed large steel black doors that can only be opened by a giant spinning wheel. Giant black wolves protect them so that no one enters and no one leaves. Two giant black wolves that guard my throne. Surveying the kingdom carefully. Black roses surround every corner of houses and I've placed a guard at every exit and entrance. The skies above are a dark grey with the only color being the orange line along the horizon. I sit in my throne watching the darkness of Dubar grow.
I stroke the dark grey fur of the wolves and tap my rings slowly, endlessly on the arm rest. This pleases me. My raven sits on my shoulder overlooking my kingdom with me. I can hear my raven's his heart beat and feel his breaths. He starts to caw, unlike any other screech I've heard. He senses something. He flies away and lands in the center of a group of five women making mashed potatoes in a churn bucket and cleaning clothes. I know those faces. Those are the women who wanted to so desperately kill me.
I turn to my lead guard David. "David, bring me those women standing over there churning butter and washing." He looks in their direction like he knows no good will come from this. "Right away your majesty." Every time I hear him say that, I develop this sensation of empowerment. I can't be touched. I and I alone are in control.
The feeling of wanting to cause pain rained over me again. It poisoned my mind and I began to see red. I desperately wait to see their pitiful faces. "I am in control here." After saying this, I remember the title of that book. She's got the whole world in Her hands." Indeed I do. I intend on keeping it that way. While thinking, my chest begins to rise. I feel something leave my body. My heart beats louder. The people around me move in slow motion. My eyes roll to the back of my head. I clinch the sides of my arm rest. This time much harder, as if I was hanging off a cliff. If I didn't hold on tight enough, I would fall.
As quickly as this starts, it's over. My eyes focus. I'm drawn to look over my shoulder. There's a mirror attached to the stone wall that lie around my throne. It matches my throne. Black and gold. Dark and cold like my soul. I see my deep red eyes and me fierce image. My eyes will be permanently red. I didn't mind. It gave me a fiery edge. I would need that edge if I was going to rule a kingdom. I hear several feet clinging against armor. The soldiers have brought me what I asked for. Just looking at the girls sickened me. I stand silently to look at them all. They look at me with terror. In a deep, dark tone I ask, "Are you scared?" Neither of them answered. After all, I was a sight to see. With a black long bird dress clinging my body that flowed away from me. Spikes run down my sides, ready to prick the nearest finger. Only to have it bleed out until there was nothing left.
"Well you should be." You see, I commit you of treason. You all conspired in an effort to kill your queen." People that were standing nearby began to stare. The girls began to squeal and pull away. I move closer to them. "Don't deny this." A bunch of knives fall out of their pockets. One of the girls says, "No, those weren't there a second ago." I walked up to them slowly. My frightening appearance causing panic inside them. "Are you accusing your queen of lying?" Only I knew that I was lying.
