The Queen Kimberlaia Saga: In The Beginning
(This is written for a great friend of mine, named Kim. She actually helped me to write a part of the story, and my Muse helped me, too. The story is set in the 1700's, during the rule of Queen Kimberlaia. And, yes, some of the inspiration comes from a Charmed episode, "A Knight To Remember." P.S. This goes back to the first battle between The Enchantress and Queen Kimberlaia.)
The year was 1702, and Queen Kimberlaia had just come to power. She was a young Queen, in her late teenage years, but the citizens of Lala Land liked her just the same.
"Queen Kimberlaia? Your daughter has woken from her nap. She is crying. Shall I have the cook prepare her some warm milk?"
The Queen was abruptly brought back from her thoughts, and she looked over to her head servant, George.
"What?" she asked, confused.
"Your daughter, Lana. She is crying. She has woken from her nap and has been crying for quite a while now," George said.
"Oh! Well, then, I will go to her and calm her down," the Queen said, walking out of the room. George followed briskly behind.
Queen Kimberlaia went into her daughter's room and looked down at her in her crib. The tiny, fragile baby looked up at her mother and smiled.
"I shall get some milk for the child," George said, smiling as he walked out of the room quietly.
What Queen Kimberlaia did not know was that George had a secret plan, given to him by his master, the all-powerful Enchantress Morgana.
George walked into the kitchen and got the bottle of milk. He looked both ways, and then he emptied a red velvet pouch into the contents of the bottle and stirred it up.
"This should do the trick," he whispered to himself. He walked back to the baby's room, bottle in hand.
When he walked into the room, he handed Queen Kimberlaia the bottle, and left the room, wanting to escape before the potion did its job.
Queen Kimberlaia picked up the baby, and started to feed her. Soon after, Princess Lana yawned. The Queen set her down gently in her crib, and left the room.
A few hours later, The Queen got a funny feeling in her stomach. She called for George.
"Yes, my Queen, did you call?" he asked, keeping a concerned look on his face as he spoke.
"Has the baby woken yet?" she asked.
"No, my Queen, she has not," he said.
Queen Kimberlaia walked into the baby's room, and touched her shoulder gently. The baby did not wake up. She lifted Princess Lana into her arms, but the baby neither moved nor woke from her sleep.
"George! Call for the doctor! Quick!" she shouted, laying the baby back down.
George did as she said, knowing full well that nothing could be done.
Queen Kimberlaia rushed into her throne room, grabbing her Book of Spells, and flipping through it for any kind of hint. She had some kind of feeling that magic was to blame, but she had no idea what kind of magic.
Finally, she concluded: The last thing that she had done with the baby was fed her milk. The same milk that had been prepared by the cook and retrieved by George.
"But why would they want to kill my child?" she asked herself. Two words popped into her head: Enchantress Morgana.
She gathered a few simple ingredients for a spell she had not used in a long time. Lighting a few candles, she began to recite the spell, anger emanating from:
"Enchantress Morgana, come to me,
I demand your presence now!
Evil one, I summon thee,
Your transport I don't care how!"
A strong wind blew around Queen Kimberlaia and a vortex appeared before her. The Enchantress fell from the vortex and it closed up behind her, taking the wind with it.
"What do you want from me?" the Enchantress yelled. She thrust out her hand and a strong wind blew Queen Kimberlaia across the room.
The young and strong Queen stood up, glaring at her evil twin.
"You always were aggressive in our childhood," she said. "The reason I have summoned you is because you have hurt my child. Whatever kind of curse you have put on her, I am ordering you to remove it, or I will kill you, and you can be sure of that!"
The Enchantress stood, pondering for a moment.
"Nah, I don't think so," she said, taking the Queen by surprise. She summoned another gust of wind, stronger this time, which sent the Queen flying across the room. The Queen hit the farthest wall hard, and slumped to the ground, not unconscious but weakened.
Queen Kimberlaia slowly stood up. The Enchantress laughed, and her laugh echoed off of the walls. The Queen summoned all of her strength to move the bricks in the floor, just to catch her off guard. The Enchantress stumbled, as the bricks quivered like an earthquake while the bricks the Queen was standing on stayed secure and still.
The effect was great, but the Enchantress retaliated with a burst of fire that came from her hands as she tried to stabilize her feet. The fire formed a ring around the Queen, slowly licking hungrily at her skin, burning her slowly.
The Enchantress laughed as the Queen moaned in pain, but she stopped laughing when she realized that the Queen was creating a stream of water around her that put out the fire. Queen Kimberlaia stood up and sent the same stream of water at her nemesis. Since the water was a force of good, it burned the Enchantress just as bad as fire had burned the Queen...
A few hours later...
Enchantress Morgana and Queen Kimberlaia faced each other, both worn out from the long battle.
"Why are you so intent on killing me?" Queen Kimberlaia finally asked.
"You were always the pretty one. The one Mother and Father loved to bits! They paid no attention to me. And when it was time to choose the future Queen, they chose you right away. And then, when I found someone at your party who actually cared about me, I was yelled at and sent to my quarters! I am going to destroy you once and for all, and take my rightful place as Queen," shouted the Enchantress to Queen Kimberlaia.
"With this spell you will be immortal,
You are unable to be pulled by Death's portal!
You will see loved ones die while you live on,
You will be the last one standing when all are gone!
Nothing can kill you by any means at all,
You will be unharmed if you try to stab, shoot, or fall!
This curse will haunt you for eternity,
From this moment on, your fate belongs to me!"
Queen Kimberlaia felt the spell take effect, but she did not back down. She closed her eyes and mumbled something. The Enchantress disappeared in a whirling puff of smoke.
"Your highness? The Enchantress – "
" – Is locked away in the dungeon. She is kept there by human force as well as many hidden charms around the dungeon. Do not worry, she will not escape," The Queen said, taking a seat on her throne and smiling a cheerful smile.
Meanwhile, down in the dungeon...
"You cannot destroy me! I will escape, and when I do, I will hunt you and your family line down and destroy you all forever! It will e the mission in the hearts of my entire lineage to find and destroy anyone related to you! You will die!" the Enchantress shouted, and the Queen could hear it in her mind, for they were twins, after all.
