HER LAST TUNE

Centuries ago,

The mix of feelings within him wasn’t at war, they were at co-existence. Maybe not a perfect co-existence but dwelling together all the same.

He was about to see his wife and he was also about to bring an end to the current rulership of Zoah. As always, his Father, the King, had stayed behind and allowed his Queen to act as she wished.

He had held onto a particular anger at how some things were done, especially since it affected the people – the weak. But he had only opted to help out in the way he knew how to and had never confronted them. But now, they had gone ahead to touch the only person he placed above himself, while she was pregnant.

They dug their graves with their own hands, and he would only be doing the needed honor of kicking them into it.

The man who had sheltered and protected his wife had done so till he took his last breath. They had raided his abode and scattered his fortress and he was going to pay them beyond their coin.
