Author's Note: This is only half of the last chapter, the rest should be up soon.

-

The Queen is dead

This cry ripped the streets

Her parsing broke the King

So the Prince rules us all

-

Less than four weeks

After the Queen last brew breath

The King while out hunting

Fell from his house into deaths arms

-

Only a curse

From the gods above

Could strike our realm so harshly

The dead shouldn't walk with the living

-

I dance as my brother plays

People all around us

Whisper in fear

Everyone treads softly

-

No mage living

Should change the judgment of the gods

The trial was fair

Our lady, our Lioness, won for all to see

-

But what of our lady?

Does she wander some distant rode?

Legends gathering of her

Say that she seeks the dominion jewel!

-

Rumours in the market place

Say the shang dragon

And the warlord's daughter

Are among her companions
