***Meetings***
The flags stood up, high above everybody's head, fluttering with the cold
wind, imponent and magestic. After all, those flags carried the symbols of
the most powerfull kingdoms on Earth: the Red Phoenix of Dranzera Kingdom
and the Pink Tiger of Galuxia Kingdom.
More imponent then the flags, only their human representatives. King Kai
Hiwatari and Queen Mariah Lang were the vivid representations of gods,
their
figures sly, but imponent, elegant, yet strong - they would never allow
themselves to be overwelmed by each other. On top of their horses, they
would eye each other, they would yell at each other, they would hate each
other.
And once more, the Phoenix and the Tiger, each followed their own, seperate
ways. The tension between Dranzera and Galuxia seemed more heated then
ever.
Why, however, no one knew. They just knew they wouldn't get along and
everytime they would try to fix things, something would happen. Some said
it
was a premonition of the gods, and that these two kingdoms were to forever
to be at war. Not a happy sight. The number or mortal victims were quite
small, but one could never be at peace, even indoors. The fights had to
end!
- The fights must end!, Tala screamed to his friend. Not many dared
screaming at the king, but he just couldn't hold it anymore!
- This is none of your buisness, Tala!, Kai spoke. His glaring would have
made anyone step back, but Tala was restless.
- The people are getting sick of this! Their lives are controlled by their
fear, they are always fearing an attack! As their soberan, you should be
concerned about their complaints!
- Just what is that suppoused to mean? I am the King and I am aware of my
obligations, I don't need you do lecture me Tala!
- But...
- No buts! When I am in need of advising, I will request my consellors to
do
so, not you! I should remind you that I gave you liberty of movement
because
you are my friend, but you are still an assasin and I still hold your life!
With this last comment, Kai strode away with the fury of a huricane.
Today was not a good day to speak with him.... no, definitly not!
Sometimes the king could be very impacient, he would just decide about
things on the verge of it's happening, without even explaining his doing.
Sometimes, he would listen carefully and make is way through the best
option.
I swear, sometimes I think I'm talking with two different people: my best
friend and my king!
A similar conversation was being held far from there.
- But, My Lady, I...
- You what?! Finish your sentence! You what? Bear in mind, I am the queen,
I
take the decisions here! Do you think you could do a better job, Dickinson?
You're a simple buttler and if I allow you to speak to me like that is
because you are as deared to me as mother and father were!
- My Lady, I am only saying, these hostilities between us and Dranzera are
getting worse then ever! Even when we met in neutral Dragonia lands!
- I know that, Dickinson. This is not the time to discuss this. Now go
away,
leave me alone. If anyone asks for me, I am not availiable, Dickinson. I
need time to think.
- Of course, My Lady.
Dickinson quietly abandoned the queen's chambers. Mariah stood there,
alone.
She needed to think, more then that, she needed to rest.
Mother, Father, I miss you more then ever. You assured my education and
manners, but you never prepared me for this! Why am I blaming you for this?
No teacher can taught me how to rule a kingdom at war... I don't remember
this being so bad when I was a child. Maybe it was my way of seing the
world
that was wrong, I don't know. It's just so hard... *giggles* I wish I could
take a vacations out of being a queen. Oh, but Boris would never allow me!
My consellor ask to much of me, I am only 19! Ah... maybe I just need a
good
night sleep...
