the exiles
chapter four: windswept
She does not think anything when taking her first steps away from her previous life. She chose this. As she steps away from the Prospitian battleship and her subjects, the recent past is recalled.
It all started with that parcel mistress. The mistress came up to her while she was sitting on her throne. The mistress explained the entire deal to her, talking about the situation with the green package and Jack wanting the White Queen and the White King to be killed. Slowly, the cogs in the queen's head turned. She knew how important this quest may be.
She would give her ring to the mistress, as if she was really dead. She took off the ring and reverted back to her normal self and gave it to the mistress. She also gave her crown to the parcel mistress. As she bid farewell, she told her to find the White King on the battlefield. And with this, it was all over. She stepped down from her throne, both literally and metaphorically. She knew what was going to happen as the mistress left the throne room.
She quickly gathered some of her subjects and fled to a Prospitian battleship. She could already see it now: the Sovereign Slayer would come. The red miles. The entire planet. The moon would come crashing down. She had to leave before things became even more drastic. She boarded the ship, and it took off into space. She entered some sort of portal near Skaia, and here she was.
She said goodbye once more to her subjects, as she knew she had to partake in this part of the journey alone. She walks for years unknown, holding on to her key, and holding onto hope.
She finds a piece of a soon-to-be egg base. She has waited possible eons for this. She inserts the key into a slot provided on the base piece. Far away, pieces reform in front of her to make the base. Without a thought, she steps inside.
Four exiles. In separate corners of the empty shell of the Earth after the Reckoning.
Four exiles. They would come together, sooner or later. Oh yes.
Four exiles.
Waiting.
