HER EXECUTION

Centuries ago,

The tune ended as two soldiers pulled her arms apart and dragged her to the stand where she was to be hung.

The Queen who is known to take her time when walking, controlling the crowd with her steps, walked briskly to Zelda.

She stood before her and partly moved her veil to reveal her face that had scales all over due to the bone-chilling tune Zelda had just played. She had wanted to prove to herself that she was potent against it and the last time had merely been a coincidence. But now she knew it wasn’t.

She looked hideous to describe her pitifully.

‘‘What did you think? That he was going to save you?

You lowly creature! You and that ability of yours can vanish for all of eternity. Now be on your anguished way!’’ The Queen said as she smiled.

A tear fell from Zelda’s eye. She felt helpless, weak, and broken.
