"High in the halls of the kings who are gone

Jenny would dance with her ghosts

The ones she had lost and the ones she had found.

And the ones who had loved her the most

The ones who'd been gone for so very long

She couldn't remember their names

They spun her around on the damp old stones

Spun away all her sorrow and pain

And she never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave.

Never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave"

Sitting at the other side of her son Alyssia couldn't help but feel sad. As much as she was proud of her son she wanted so much for Edward to have seen him grown into a great king.



Now after five very long years of fighting for her sons birthright, Alyssia felt her heart grow lighter.



She now knew that with all of Edmunds enemies gone England was now at peace.


Taking a sip of wine from her glass, Alyssia couldn't help but observe the grandness of the feast.


Madelena had done well for her husband.

But she couldn't help but be taken back to her very first feast which was held in Edwards victory.



The way they danced.

The way his hand felt on her waist.

His breath on her cheek.



With a breaking heart a tear escaped from Alyssia's eye. The memories were too much, she often wondered if she would ever be with Edward.


If there is a god she prayed for it to be kind to her and reunite her with her other half.


"Mother? Are you alright?" Pulled out of her thoughts Alyssia felt her sons gentle hand on hers.



Smiling up at him she said "Yes! Of course. It's just I remembered my very first feast at court. Your father wouldn't stop staring at me nor I him throughout the night. And as it ended he got up and asked me to dance with him."
