In a land that is lost to our modern world, lay a kingdom of Darkness. There ruled a King, no one knew is true name only that he preferred to be called The Undertaker. He was a man of mystery, who preferred the company of his bride and the loyal druids that had found her, his powers of fire and lightening frightened those who dare try and start a war on his land. He was said to be friends with Death himself, and could keep the people he loved alive. His bride was said to have a demon like scream with a style just as dark as his, although she didn't process magic like although the queens before her had, The Undertaker still took her as his bride and made her his queen. Her name was Paige.
She was said to be the most beautiful queen of all, with her pale porcelain skin, her dark brown eyes that were close to being black and her raven black hair. People always said that she was the fragile Queen, but those who had come face to face with her in battle or in a bad mood had found out that her looks were just that looks. Although she had porcelain type skin she was anything but fragile, she could defeat most of the soldiers in both hand to hand combat and with weapons. It was no wonder why The Undertaker has chose her as his wife. Residents of the land they ruled, could always tell when she was around, as her ravens would fly before her, gliding almost floating in the sky. If she was called the Fragile Queen then she was called The Raven Queen, a name fitting considering it appeared she had control of the birds, it was more of talent, but one that so many people admired about her.
But the happiness did not last, since in that time, there was no happy endings to fairy tales. There wasn't going to be on this time. War had been brought to the lands of Darkness, by what the residents would have called the Warriors of Light. It was almost like it was a war between Light and Dark, they too had their own sorcerer, who had promised to put a curse on the King or maybe even the Queen he hadn't decided yet but he knew what type of curse it would be. One that would bring a world of agonising pain to the one it was placed on if they should even rise again in another time.
It was a great battle and as to be expect the Queen fought alongside the soldiers defending her land, she was willing to give her life just like every other soldier. At some point in the battle The Undertaker had been separated from his queen and had yet to find her again. Worried had began to take over at where she might be, never once in battle had they been separated, until now, what was worse with all his power he could not sense where she was, that alone gave him the sense of dread and what might have happened, it had him questioning if he was even supposed to have had her in the first place, he loved her dearly, but all the signs were pointing to her not being the queen to rule along side him. It was kind of like King Henry VIII, and she was like Jane Seymour, the wife he had truly loved but had lost due to death.
Soon The Undertaker come face to face with a man that didn't look as though he belonged on the battle field but in a tent with a glass ball, and other voodoo things surrounding him, he had black and blue robes on and golden chain around his neck, his fingers were decorated with different types of rings, his dark brown hair falling over his shoulders in a mess of tangles. His eyes lost and far away, like he couldn't believe who he was standing before, a sinister smile crossing his lips as he finally looked at the Dark King, for who he had once sworn he would replace, something he now hand the chance to bring true.
At this the man started to chant in Latin, while directing his hands at the king standing in front of him. The world this king once knew was never going to be the same again, if this wizard should ever succeed in what he had in mind, then the king would loose everything he held dear to him. Even if that did seem impossible. The winds around the suddenly started to pick up as the clouds grew darker, and lightening began to flash across the sky. All The Undertaker could do was look on in confusion as to who the man in front of him was and what he was doing, never had he seen a man with such power stand before him and willingly show what he was and what he could do. As quickly as the winds, dark clouds and lightening came, they disappeared with a few clatters of thunder. The man once again smiling but this time his eyes sparkled.
"Lord of Darkness, I am Bray Wyatt, my task here is done. The curse upon you will bring you pain of knowing you have lost something but never be able to regain what once was. Your memories of this life will be with you in your next life. You will have the pain of remembering everything that happened and everyone you see here. You will live with the memory of what was once yours, you will have to watch her be with another" said this mysterious man, revealing his name and what he had done, The Undertaker looked on in confusion as how someone as powerful as himself could have a curse put on him, he found it hard to believe it was true, but became more suspicious of the man.
"My Lord" suddenly shouted one of his loyal soldiers and one of the queens protectors. The Undertaker look in the direction of his voice and seen him coming towards him, holding his helmet, his sword in it sleeve, he had a concerned look in his eyes, at what the King may do when he delivers the message. "My Lord, Queen Paige has been mortally wounded, by your brother, he turned against us, my lord she doesn't have long, she is asking for you" said Seth coming into view and telling the king what had happened, he could see the anger appear in the Kings eyes, at what had happened. Seth swallowed before leading the king to where she lay. He felt sorrow for he was the only one of her protectors left.
Once they had gotten to where she lay, The Undertaker seen the sight before him, Roman and Dean had also fallen, they carried out their order until the very end, they were truly loyal to her, even in death. It appeared as though Dean had been slain when he was cradling her in his lap, as her upper body still lay across his legs. It was unclear when Roman had fallen but judging by the arrows it was clear he had taken the direct hit, like someone had used him as a shield of some sort. Seth returned to her side and took hold of her had, placing the other hand on her forehead, slowly she opened her eyes to see her husband kneeling the other side of her.
"Is the war over?" quietly asked Paige, her voice not more than a whisper, she skin more paler than usual, her hands and entire body cold to the touch, her once dusty pink lips turning a pale shade of blue. The Undertaker, looked around him and to Seth, thankful that at least one of them had survived to be with her, and had come to find him. He was thankful that they had found her and stayed with her during the battle and given their lives for her, he made a silent promise to himself that he would give them a burial to remember, and put them in the books as the brave men they were.
"Yes, my love the war is over" said The Undertaker in reply, he was saddened by the fact he was going to loose her, as well as the fact that she had to suffer with a slow death. He would make his brother pay for this. As he had done this purposely, making his bride suffer the way she was. He hated to see her in pain. And knew her brothers would be lost without her, they lived with them in the palace, and helped her choose the three men that protected her and became loyal friends. He had made them captain of the guard because they were willing to do anything to protect their younger sister.
"Dean and …... Roman... where are …... they?" asked Paige struggling with her words and she fought to get air to her lungs, her body was slowly shutting down, she could feel her body growing colder and going numb, she was struggling to keep her hand in Seth's as her limbs began to go heavy. She knew she was going to die but didn't want to go without telling four of the six people that meant everything to her, one last goodbye. Seth looked to Mark, worry in his eyes, he hadn't told her Roman had fallen and she had been aware of what happened to Dean, hence the blood splattered on her face. It wasn't long before she began to cough, Seth held her hand tighter and The Undertaker placed one of his hands on her cheek and the other on her chest in an attempt to give her comfort.
"They have fallen my queen, Roman lies a few meters away and Dean was slain while tending to you, you lay on his legs" said The Undertaker, seeing the tears appear in his wife's eyes, her memory was starting to go, as she couldn't remember Dean had fallen while trying to help her out. It wasn't long before tears began to slip from her eyes and blood began to drip from the corner of her mouth. She began to cough again, this time coughing up her own blood, she was nearing the end, her pain would hopeful end when she takes her final breaths.
"Bury them with me, my king. Seth thank you …... for being here …... until the …..end. I …... love y..y...you my lor..." her sentence unfinished as she finally succumbed to her fatal wound. Her hand fell from Seth's grip and landed with a thud on the ground. The Undertaker shook her in an attempt to wake her up, deep down he knew she was gone, there was no longer light in her brown eyes. With tears falling down his dirty cheeks he placed his hand over her eyes and close them for the final time, not sure what he was going to do now. He had lost his one and only queen, the paintings of her were all he had left now and his memories. With all his magic he could not bring her back as no magic had the power of that. He let out one ear piecing scream, it was loud and sudden enough to make all the soldiers that fought for him, stop in their tracks and turned to where it originated from.
"It was my life to be taken" shouted The Undertaker at the cloudy sky. "Not this, never this. What have I done to displease you. Where you would punish me by taking my bride, my queen away" again shouted The Undertaker. Seth looked on, tears streaming from his eyes at the though of loosing the Queen, his two best friends and his majesty in pain. He knew that there would never been another queen as dark or kind as Paige was. Seth leant down and kissed her forehead one final time, before getting up and going to where Roman lay, picking him up with some struggle and taking him to where his lady now lay. Placing him down on the ground where his head was resting on her legs.
With in a few days the funerals for all those who had fallen in battle had taken place, except those of The Queen and her two loyal soldiers. The Undertaker was going to obey to her final wishes and bury both Dean and Roman with her. He had a church type building built for her, where a dark angel statue will stand, the angel would be wearing a crown and holding a sword and a book. In front of the statue would be where hid bride would be buried with her to fallen friends and guards either side of her.
He entered the building that was lit by the black candles, with Seth, and Paige's brothers Viktor and Konnor. All of them dressed in their funeral clothes. And the residents of the town there too. Everyone one of them with tears in there eyes and filled with grief and sadness at the loss of their beloved queen. Roman and Dean had been dressed in their palace clothes of black leather trousers and a white shirt. Dean of course with the black leather waist coat too. The queen herself had been dressed in a beautiful dark red dress, with blue sleeves on. A purple slink over coat on her. Her black hair flowing over her shoulders with white roses weaving through it. It appeared as though all three of them were sleeping, there wounds had been concealed in a way where no one could see them. Not even Dean's one.
The Undertaker placed a white rose with Roman and Dean and then red roses with his Queen, while also placing her a shining onyx upon her chest, in her hands. He kissed her forehead one last time, before the caskets were closed and placed into the ground. Letting them find there way to peace, and to reunite with each other on the other end. The King smiled before placing one final rose on the place where they had been laid to sleep for the final time. The concrete that encased them would make sure they were never disturbed. And the stone replica's of them, preserving them through out time. There was even a small description of who they were written in Latin of who the three buried there were.
The Undertaker did remarry but never forgot his one true queen. When Seth passed he was placed with his former queen and close friends, in cased the same way. And like them put into legend. As king he often went to visit those he lost, if he had done wrong he would always tell his lost Queen, but he also told her how much he missed and loved her. He made a silent promised to her that they would be reunited again, just like she would be with her close friends in Dean, Roman and Seth once more.
The queen in which he took after the late Paige, was not as well like as the first. She processed magic but not the hearts of people or the love of the king. He had married her to forge an alliance between his kingdom and that of the one to east. She could not call to the ravens as Paige had done, nor could see keep the king from going to the church, she had followed him to this church once. Wondering who he went off to see, she had originally though he had a mistresses, but soon found, he still loved the wife he had lost in battle. She was more angry to find where the man she had killed was buried.
Of couse this queen loved her husband, but she was hurt when she found out he still loved his first queen. Out of spite and anger she had one of her guards order the death of Seth, since he was one of the remaining connections the king hand to Queen Paige. This unnamed queen confronted the king about his regular visits to Paige's tomb and why Seth was buried with her when he had done nothing to help protect her or anyone in the kingdom, instead he made a small living out of making sure the church was well kept and the silver ware inside was clean with candles being replenished when the burnt out.
The Undertaker had replied with a simple answer that Queen Paige was his bride and he had married her our of love, his heart belonged to her even when she is no longer with them. He also explained that Seth was buried at the church because he was loyal to Queen Paige even when she fell in battle he made sure her final resting place did not fall into ruin, he also explained he had promised her he would bury her three loyal friends with her. Roman and Dean fell in the same battle she had and Seth lived on long enough to make sure neither of them were forgotten.
It was forty years to the day that King Undertaker joined his beloved queen in death. He had watched as Viktor and Konnor had a happy life and had a family of their own with people they loved. And he had forged an alliance with the kingdom to east by marrying their oldest princess and making her his new queen, although he loved it was more friendship love, he never had any children by Paige or by his unnamed second wife. He had hunted down and exacted revenge on his brother for what he had done to his wife, through the torture Kane had admitted he had slit Dean throat when he was distracted with helping Paige and also pulled Roman in front of him when soldiers had tried to execute him on the battle field for what he had done to Paige and Dean.
The King was buried with his beloved queen, in the small church alongside her brothers and three loyal friends and guards. Although the church has been lost with time, the history of King Undertaker's reign still lasts, over the years many historians and architects have tried to find where the church is located using modern day maps, maps from back then and descriptions of the arena in which it stood. But much like Dawley Castle, it's location remains unknown. Some pictures of The Queen still remain, as for the second queen her name was lost to time, she was executed when the lands to the west invaded, thrust the lands fell into the hands of those who didn't believe in magic, and the people were treated poorly. Any reminded of those with magic was burnt or destroyed. The stain glass windows in the palace were smashed and the painting burnt with anyone who refused to forget that magic existed.
But that was half a millennium ago, something extraordinary has happened. King Undertaker has been reborn, but he is no longer in a royal line, since the royals don't exist in the land in which he was born into, he has the memories of his previous life much like the curse said he would, and he has found the three that were reincarnations of his beloved Queen Paige, yet he has not found the woman that his Queen would be, was he not supposed to find her again and be reunited with her. All the signs point to it happening this century and the company that he and the reincarnations work for. World Wrestling Entertainment.
