The Midnight Rock

by truemistery

Now that the midday star has been stopped. The queens in waiting have returned to the lives they have chosen. Things for the most part stayed the same or took a turn for the better. Though one thing is a little off the 3 possible queens have been finding strange things left for them. They don't quite make sense things half said or hinted at, and old secrets starting to resurface.

The Midday Star has been stopped, the world as been saved and the queens in waiting have gone on with their lives. What could happen now?

This question was soon answered, as all three of the queens start finding "odd" things left for them. Pictures, well more like ancient paintings, and something written in a forgotten language. Now, they don't really think anything of it or tell anyone about it...at first. After a while of receiving these things, however, it starts weighing on their minds.

One day Firiel was studying the paintings that had been left for her. The painting showed what appeared to be stars.

"Maybe Rune can help." she mutters, getting up to speak with her friend. "Hey, Rune?"

"Yes, Firiel." He replies, looking up from what he's doing.

"Do you by any chance recognize this?" The Queen-in-Waiting asks, handing Rune some of the mysterious paintings.

"Let me see." He answers, walking over to one of the desks in the tower.

After a few moments of examining the odd images, Rune appears shocked. "Firiel, where did you get these?"

"Someone left them for me at the base of the observatory." Firiel hesitantly responds.

"Firiel, this is a star map, an old one but a star map none the less." Rune states.

"Oh" Firiel says.

"This star map seams focused around the path of the Midnight Rock" Rune explains.

"The Midnight Rock?" Firiel says questioningly.

"Yeah, most of the time they focus on the stars not the moon." Rune says with curiosity in his voice.

"That's odd."

"Very. Firiel, was there anything else left for you?"

"well, there are a few more of the star maps, and then there's these." Firiel says getting up and getting the papers with the markings. "I'm not shore what they are." She says handing them to her friend.

He studies them for a few minutes and them looks up at Firiel.

"They are words written in a very old language. I recognize it but I cant read it. I only know a few words." Rune explains.

"Oh."

"I know it mentions the stars but I don't know what."

"I wonder what it says and why it was sent to me."

"I wish I knew."
