Lonely Vengeance

Prologue

In the beginning...

There was kingdom far, far away. It was ruled by a merciless queen, beloved by no one. I mean even her own husband tried to kill her, but I'll explain later. And in that kingdom, were miraculous people and creatures. Some good. Some bad. Angels, humans, sprites, shape shifters, everything. That kingdom had about seven countries full of creatures, but eighteen years ago the queen had created Execution Day. The number off residence was reduced to over half that much.Every first Sunday of every month, that was the day we saw 'criminals' and the undesirables get decapitated by a blacksmith.

This queen had in made. She lived a life of luxury in her palace, servants to wait on her every whim, and the power to control people. Not from her stand as queen, but that her gift was the ability to control people's minds. It's unique, and bazaar. Too bazaar. She would always wear blue everything on the exception of Execution Day. That day she wore a dark red and black gown that made her pale complexion somehow translucent. That woman had no idea of what was going on in her kingdom. She would kill people that would make the slightest mistake.

The brilliant idea of Execution Day came eighteen years ago. The queen, Forenthia, had stumbled upon a man, Jantlyn Jerome. They fell in love at an instant and got married at once. Forenthia was already ruling the kingdom cruelly and never had any respect towards anybody. One night, the king hid a knife under his pillow plotting to finally end the reign of the calamitous queen. But, unfortunately, Forenthia woke up before he could stab her cold heart, and called the knights for help. She had no control over Jantlyn because he was a heavenly angel(they aren't conducted under her power). That Sunday she had his head decapitated in front of the whole kingdom. Everyone had to watch the king be humiliated and his head cut off in one swift slice. The blacksmith held up his unattached head by his curly blond hair as Forenthia warned everyone that if they done a crime of any sort that they would have the same fate. Lamentably, she was quite persnickety about crimes, so many innocent lives had been lost.

All people that were heavenly angels were executed. Or at least the ones she could find, a lot of them fled to other kingdoms, realms, or went back to heaven. When she found this out she closed the gates to the kingdom so no one could go in and no one could get out. She killed the last of them, everyone except for Minka, the bravest warrior I have ever known. She thought if all the angels were gone that she could finally rule the kingdom in peace. But I had to open my big mouth and endanger everything I held near and dear to me. I did something that others could only dream of doing. I stood up to her. I stood up for everything that I believed in. But that simple action was paid by the ultimate price. My life. For the people of Horandia, I paid it gladly.
