The lantern flickered in the mellow breeze. Its dim light illuminating the most beautiful room in the castle.
Golden trimmings accessorized bright white walls. A painting by Alanzo Dinez- the Queen's favorite artist, hung overlooking the bed.
On the large bed, enveloped in the softest silk sheets money could buy, laid the just King Arid and his young Queen Senidi. Their bodies tangled in a loving embrace.
A beautiful sight of Eeol's beloved monarchs.
If not, for the river of blood gushing from young Senidi's slim neck and the jeweled hilt jutting from the King's naked chest.
A beautiful sight indeed.
The lantern flickered in the mellow breeze blowing from the opened window. On its sill, the daintiest, bloodied hand-print shined against the white.
Eeol will be peaceful no more.
