The High Queen

The High Queen - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

-Gods-

There once was a time when Lylitheans and Earthians lived in peace. Until one man made a grave mistake...

I fear my idiotic brother has made a terrible mistake. He has been spending more and more time on earth, neglecting his duties and his people. Father has had to, on several occasions, step in for Xander and fulfill the duties as High King. He's been speaking with the council members trying to find a way to talk some sense into him, but half of them are on his side. Saying he is a god and should be treated as such. The Earthians believe this whole heartedly, I however see him for what he really is. Weak. Poor mother is beside herself with worry. Father fears he will destroy the peace between our planets, with all the stories we've been hearing, I fear he may be right. We have lived peacefully beside the Earthians since the beginning of their time, and he is carelessly throwing this peace out the window. Changing his name to Zeus and having multiple earth and Lylithean partners. I've even heard rumors he has an earth child now! It's shameful. And to top it off, he's dragged his queen into this as well. Taking her to earth giving her a new name, and what can she do? Nothing. Simply because he is king and must be obeyed. The more I write the clearer this becomes.
Something must be done.

We became known as gods to them. It is known that our ancestors on earth ran amok and created chaos...

Xander has been living on earth now permanently for a year. He has completely left us in the dark. Half of the high council members have now left as well. Mother's heart couldn't take the worry, she passed away 6 months ago. Father is hitting his 1,500th year and simply can't keep up with his duties so the responsibility has fallen to me. something needs to be done, and I have made a decision. I'm not sure how this will end, or if this is even the right decision, but my people are in danger.                         
Hopefully father can forgive me.

To create peace, I cut off their access to Lylithea to eliminate the recklessness in their genetics and making our planet "pure". A society where women rule and are the superiors...

It has been done. I have banished Xander and his council members and cut off all communication to earth. Traveling between planets has now become illegal and impossible. My new council has destroyed all transportation doors. From now on, women will rule this planet. The high council has already begun preparing my coronation. We've also decided to prevent this from ever happening again, the males in our society will be raised separately. The council and I also believe we should start arraigned marriages for the queens of the future. A male from the general population is to wed the future queen instead of her marrying a male from the council. I will be the first to be wed this way soon after my coronation. The transition has been relatively easy, the hardest part of all of this was losing my brother.                                                                                                                               
I must keep telling myself I did what had to be done.

Our history is now just myths to them. The Earthians have lost all ability to know of our existence...

Agueda

It was Saturday morning and Collette was studying Lylithean history by reading the diaries of the past queens, starting with Queen Agueda. Collette sat down Queen Agueda's diary. She had so many questions. What exactly did Xander do to get banished? Why did he leave Lylithea in the first place? 'You know why he left. You know what earth is like compared to here, especially for a royal.' She quickly pushed this thought from her mind. "Archer, what does Agueda mean when she says they ran amok? How did Xander and his council create chaos?" Collette asked.
