Lost Kingdom

1790 Year of Queen Caroline.

She stared at her own terrified image at the mirror. As her shoulders moved, her robe fell on the carpeted floor. Her hands involuntarily feel the surface of her flat abdomen. A muffled sob escaped from her lungs. Queen Caroline's face turned pale as realization dawned upon her.

This can't be happening!

How is it possible that the unmated and virgin Queen is carrying a child? She has no lover nor magical power to procreate an heir alone. And she, the Queen of the Purest shall remain pure until death will claim her body and soul. The Kingdom of Hail must be ruled by a virgin queen as their rule says 'no queen of Hail shall be tainted forever and if she sinned, death will be hers.'

Queen Caroline found herself over her soft bed, her knees and hands went cold and weak. The gods must be playing with her fate. But who did this? Her kingdom is free from evils. The guardians of the gods made sure of it. They are here from the very beginning, guarding the land from the power hungry leaders. She has to be protected for in her kingdom lies the secret door to the pure power of immortality.

A gentle knock outside the chamber disturbed her thoughts. Wiping her tears away, she gets up and grant the intruder her entrance. It was a young maiden carrying a white rolled paper in her hand.

"My queen, a message from Egramos." The queen nods. The young maiden curtsied and took her exit.

The Kingdom of Hail and Egramos, together with the other four kingdoms-Faerji, Zeriah, Regeros, and Verzar have one goal. That is to keep the peace in the supernatural land. Egramos, being ruled by King and Queen Farah are all underwater creatures. Zeriah is ruled by King Hanz Beroth, a kingdom full of wizards and witches. Regeros, ruled by King Viktor Aurus, is a night walker kingdom. Faerji is the Kingdom of Faeries ruled by King Zerq. The Kingdom of Verzar is feared the most. The Verzarians are called the children of the moon. This kingdom is ruled by a pure Lycan, the Alpha King Oliver de Brann. Though Lycans are the superior kind of the werewolves, they respect pack territories.

These six kingdoms have pledge peace but she perfectly knew that wars between kingdoms will come.

Her kingdom will fall first. The land of the Purest are no warriors but more of brides or breeders. The guardians could not be summoned during wars. They are here to seal the doors through Queen Caroline's blood. This is the saddest part of the queen's life.

Looking at the rolled paper, she slowly opened it. There lies the beautiful writings of Queen Farah.

'I had the weirdest dream about the queen of the Purest. She is carrying a beautiful child while dancing in the meadow. You knew well enough of my ability. So, my queen, my friend, you have to run. Save your child for they will come to you when the sun falls."

Tearing the white sheet of paper, she rose and put the pieces in the tin can and burned them. As she kept on staring at the flame, a decision is finally settling in her mind. She rushed into her dressing room and pack basic things. While doing so, she didn't notice her headmost maiden comes in.

"My queen, what is the meaning of this?"

She gasped but didn't face her. She can trust her. "Someone casted an evil spell against my will."

"But why does it look like you are running away?"Aleria asked in a troubled voice.

"Because I am running away." Queen Caroline's hand halted. She finally turned to face Aleria. "I have to save this child and find the creature behind this falsity."

"Oh the good gods! You are with a child!"

"I have no time to waste. The guardians probably knew it already. They will come for me Aleria."

Aleria took a deep breath and exhaled. She took Queen Caroline's hands and said. "We will run together."
