Legend?

I just stood there temporarily paralyzed, staring at the approaching demons.

"I've read about these things before." I admit, fear now creeping in.

"well, if you have say it. It would really do more help right now if you do." he says, panic clear in his voice as I hear him swallow a lump in his throat.

"I wish I could, but what I remember isn't really going to help." I whisper back over to him. "just tell me. Anything to stop them." he says, his hands unknowingly reaching for mine. I ignore the contact and try my best to think of something else.

"well, all I know is they won't hurt us as long as..." I pause. "as long as what?" he whispers more desperately.

"they only bow to the legendary queen, which once ruled the seven great seas. But, I don't understand one thing." I pause, staring at the creatures which have now paused in front of us intently.

"they only come out once every century, to welcome the new queen. But..." I hesitate, no it couldn't be.
