Chapter 5 The Coronation
Veb went over to Dia's closet and pulled out a dress. "This, is the dress will be wearing to your coronation."
Dia looked at it, puzzled, "It is rather small is it not?"
"Oh, but this is only the top, the bottom has yet to be brought up. It still needed some embroidering done to it."
"Why is there a top and a bottom, not just one?"
"Oh, you will see; it is very long."
"H- How long?"
"Quite," is all she said.
A moment later some one had brought the bottom up. There were yards and yards of long, flowing, white silk. Dia was in awe just by the size of it. "It is time to get dressed."
The bottom part had to go one first. The bottom part consisted of most of the fabric and it had simply two straps going over the shoulders and only started covering skin when it got to just below her hips. She laughed to herself as she tried to make her way through it. She then slipped on the top with ease. The top looked like a skin tight - on the legs - white dress,, that was cut up the front and up the back. The sleeves were very long, though not quite long enough to touch the ground. The font showed much cleavage and he back was bare.
"Oh it looks wonderful Veb!"
"You're not done just yet." Veb went over to the table beside Dia's bed and lifted a box that was sitting there. She brought it over by Dia. Veb opened the box toward Dia. The breath in Dia's body seemed to be taken right out of her. Inside the box were jewels, but they were the color clear, and looked to be water. There were four of them, each one bigger than the last. "The King would not tell who left them for you. He only said, 'They will reflect what ever she feels.' So here I am giving them to you."
Veb took one out that was on a chain and hooked it to the back of the dress so it draped down her bare back. The next went around her waist; and then that was held on a band weaved through her hair. The last one was one a golden wire - weaved so minuet the chains were barely visible - fell right between her breasts.
The moment the last jewel fell to her skin, they all changed to the form of her skin, melding to the exact shape.
Dia was distracted from the jewels when a knock came to the door. Veb answered it and let the guest in. Dia turned around to see who it was, and came face to face with Legolas. The odd thing about this was, Dia was the speechless one, where as Legolas was the one smiling.
"You look absolutely wonderful."
"Thank you," she blushed.
"It is time to go now."
Dia took the trail of her dress, draped it over her arm, and they were off to the stables. Legolas lifted Dia onto Beau and draped her dress over Beau's back. He then carefully jumped on in front of her and led them to the place where she was to be coroneted.
He stopped her a ways into the forest, where the trees were beginning to thicken.
"We are almost the, but you must get off Beau, we don't want them to hear us." He jumped down and then lifted her off. He set her trail long out, neatly behind her. He then took her hand in his and started walking in a direction left from Beau. "Now you mustn't say a word unless asked a non hypothetical question."
She nodded.
A few moments later Legolas was leading her past a few people. Dia was excited to see Arwen in that group; but did not show feeling, only looked toward the king. There were two thrones, one carved of wood, which the king was standing in front of; and the other, weaved of many branches with intricate designs needled into them. And beside Atar's throne, on a stand, was a small box with the legendary, noble Greenleaf carved into it. Once she had parted from Legolas's side, Atar motion for her to stand beside him.
A few words and blessings were said before the king spoke directly to her. "Do you accept this throne and crown as a symbol of your acceptance of your realm and all of its being to which they belong?"
Wow, that's a mouthful she thought. "Yes"
"Do you accept the kingdom which has been placed in your hands and promised to care for and rule it with every ability you have?"
She paused, some got a little uneasy at this slight pause, but she was just as determined as ever. "it will be a difficult task for just one person to rule over a kingdom as great as this, but I will try my hardest if my friends and family support me. I believe that with their help, guidance, and love, I will succeed. I do take my kingdom and promise to care for it to the fullest of my ability and even with some that I do not own."
Atar took out of the box a small crown - that also had one of the jewels upon it-and came to stand behind her; holding it high. Slowly and carefully he lowered it upon her head.
She felt her skin tingle, almost like power flowing through her. It felt, well, indescribable, overwhelming, and yet, wonderful.
Slowly the jewels faded to a deep, dark, blue. She smiled as she felt her skin shock out from where the jewels lay upon her bare skin. Her body was taken over in the moment; by her emotions of happiness and joy, and her smile grew even bigger. It spread across her ace, wide and long, she seemed to glow.
She was Queen.
