Author's Note: Hello everyone, it's been a while since I updated one of my fics, hasn't it? Well, I've been busy writing a book (you can preview a sample of it on my fictionpress account), and that's been keeping me pretty busy. I've wanted to write this for a while, but I just didn't know how, so I'll make it AU, but using the same settings and themes… if that makes sense.

It's been so hard…
So hard since my mother passed away…
Cruelly murdered by those despicable lowlifes!
Oh, how I miss her so… She was always kind to me, while firmly training me for the day that I would become Queen of Alexandria. But who would have thought that day would come so soon?
They would say, "Long live the Queen!"
It has become jinxed.
God save the Queen!
A curse.
Even the best knights could not protect her against the assassination.
But perhaps could it be linked to the mysterious man who has been hanging around as of late?
Perhaps.
But now is the time to grieve and readjust my life as the new Queen…

How will I ever become the great woman that my mother had became?
We have not had a war within her lifetime, the economy was in surplus, the public systems were all in order, and the citizens were safe. But most importantly, there was not this dreadful ominous premonition.
It was blue… and red… they clashed…
Such a simplistic scenario, but it foretold so much…
So much death and fear…
A reoccurring nightmare…
What does it mean?
Blue and red… Red and blue… What are the gods trying to tell us?

Peace is but a shadow of death, desperate to forget it's painful past…
And though we hope for promising years, after shedding a thousand tears, yesterday's sorrow constantly nears…
While the moon still shines blue, by dawn, it will turn into a scarlet hue…
…A prophecy. A prophecy handed down throughout the generations of all kingdoms on Mist Continent. The world… Alexandria, Burmecia, Cleyra, and Lindblum…
Somehow, this foretells our fate. Our soon to be destined fate.
Oh Mother! Help me!
