Prologue

She was lying on the bed, tired after a long morning of going through the matters which her ministers had brought up. Her eyes were closed, and her chest rising and falling slightly. She had told her servants that no one was to disturb her, and no one was allowed into her bed chambers unless she said so.

Not that there would be anyone who would just barge in like that anymore.

She thought to herself, smiling at the bitter sweet memories that haunted her every day after that dreadful incident. A lone tear rolled down her wrinkled cheeks, and she wiped it away with the sleeve of her kimono. A sudden shift in the air around her alerted her of someone's presence.

"Who is it?" she asked, opening her eyes a little, but there was nothing amiss in her room.

Footsteps on a wooden floor echoed through the space, and she opened her eyes further. This time, she saw a person walking slowly towards her, a smile on his lips. His glorious golden hair, his crimson eyes, dressed in his golden coloured kimono. He was still the same as she could remember. He came closer, until his shadow was over her.

She was shocked beyond words, but quickly got up from her lying position, supporting her upper body with her elbows.

"My king…" she murmured. He didn't reply. She sat up, reaching out a hand, but still he didn't do anything, or even utter a word. "My king…" she called again, lowering her arm.

"Lady Tohsaka…" he finally said, his smile dimming a little. "What's all this about? You look so much older than I am."

"My king, you are in your primes," she replied, and ran a hand over her face. "But for me, I've grown old without realizing it."

He chuckled, and came closer. "And for all this time, I thought only mongrels would look older than me. Who've thought that you'd be too?"

"You're the king…" she replied, tears brimming in her sapphire blue eyes. "Who are we to dare to look younger than you?"

He laughed, and she realized just how much she had missed that laughter, that voice, and the man who was now standing before her, in all his glory. "Dear me, my lady," he said to her, and sat down on the bed with her. "I would never hope that to happen to the woman I love the most."

He reached out to caress her cheek, and she turned into his touch. Tears rolled down her cheeks, and the golden king wiped them away tenderly.

"Don't cry, or you'll be like all those mongrels out there," he said to her, and she smiled weakly. "I know you must've suffered a lot. Look at how white your hair is."

"Am I the same as those half-breeds now?" she queried, her voice quavering.

But his reply surprised her. "Would I ever do that to you?" he replied, laughing. He pulled her into his strong arms, embracing her in a tight hug.

She remained silent, and savour the moment. She had missed him so much, despite how he had always spoke, despite how he had always acted. But she had loved him all the same. He was the man who had changed so much of her life, of her personality, of her future. Right now, she just wanted to be near to him, and feel him once more.

"My king, for all these years, where have you been? Why did you leave me alone for such a long time?" she asked, sobbing into his chest. One hand touched his face, and lingered there.

"I have always been waiting for you over there…" he replied.

"Where? Where is that place?" she raised her head to look at his face.

He smiled a little, looking down into those sapphire orbs. "You know where that place is. It's the place."

"Where?" she asked again.

This time, the golden king did not reply. He stood up, and stepped away, smiling at her. He looked at her one more time, and began to walk out of the room.

"My king, my king…" she called out, trying to call him back. But he didn't even look back.

"Queen Dowager, Queen Dowager, please wake up," her servant, Hoi called her, and shook her gently.

"Queen Dowager, what's wrong?" Yui asked, worried.

"My king, my king," Queen Dowager called out, her eyes fluttering open. She looked at both of her maid servants, and closed her eyes. "Where's the king?" she murmured.

Hoi and Yui looked at each other, not sure what to say.

"The king is busy at the Imperial Court," Hoi answered. "If you wish to see the king, I shall go and invite the king for you."

"No need…" she replied. "I saw him in my dreams just now…" she let out a rasped breath. "He was still the same as ever…"

Yui smiled a little. "No wonder. You've just had a nice dream."

She didn't reply to that. "Help me up."

The two of them scooted forward and help the Queen Dowager up, placing two big pillows behind her back. She leaned back, and closed her eyes, trying to recall her dream. A soft sigh escaped her lips, and another tear slid down her cheek.

She opened her eyes, and looked at her two maid servants. They had white hair as well, just like her. There was no surprise there. The two of them had been with her ever since she had first set foot into the Golden Palace of Kin.

"Hoi, Yui," she said, looking at them in the eyes. "You've followed me for decades. Tell me, if I leave before the both of you one day. Or, you two leave ahead of me, will me meet again at the other side?"

The two servants looked at each other and smiled. "Of course," they replied as one. "The both of us has planned to serve you once more on the other side."

"Then perhaps, I can finally return to Hoseki then…" she said softly.

Yui smiled, and held the queen dowager's hand. "The kingdom where your story began."

She nodded. "Indeed… it all started with the minister's words about a Supreme Star."

And there you have it, the prologue to what may seem like a really long story ahead. This story will retell the life of this Queen Dowager. The characters may seem OOC, but I will try to maintain some of their personalities where I can do so.

Say, has anyone guessed who they are?
