This is a One Shot Entry for the Imagery Contests' 4th Challenge.
Onyx is a kingdom secluded from international modern influences, located in Northern England. This caged, hidden realm is reigned by King William the Child of Onyx. He is gifted with two sons, who were both killed in the Great Civil War against Monarchy. The royals won the war, but in order to compromise, they imposed a pseudo democratic monarchy type of government, where the Crowned Heir will be chosen by the people, when both of the king's grandchildren come of age.
Princess Shauna was always thought to be mentally challenged, maybe even schizophrenic. Despite her incapacities, her birth right gave her an equal chance to be the Ruler of the kingdom. Then, she was accused of a crime, which forced her to exile.
Will she ever survive the land beyond the gates?
