Rai stood at the window, the wind had changed, and the air had a certain misty surrounding in it. It was morning and it looked like night. A clear sign of the seasons changing. Rai smiled to herself, yet it was more of a snarl. She looked down to see Serenity in the Gardens, It started to rain and her blue cloak started to glisten. Rai closed the shutter and faded into the darkness of the looms and the rising voices of the gossip choir.
Serenity pulled her blue cloak tighter around her, the clocking of the looms in the work room had made her head pound and near fall off her neck. The air was muggy and clouded her head up more. The rain was heavy and took no prisoners as it stabbed the ground, hard. She looked up to the work room, the gossip was rife and she couldn't stand looking like a fool anymore than she could withstand walking on hot coals.
Rai, Diamond's sister and one of her Ladies in waiting would be telling everyone how the Queen felt a grave grief of not being able to conceive, to put it bluntly. She'd have said in a little, sweet voice, oh how the Queen's dreams are haunted at night, and how Diamond leaves her bed empty and cold when they make love. One of the maids, of thirteen, Natasha would blink innocently at Rai with her big blue eyes , and bat her long eye lashes when asking the question that lay on everyone's lips; What if it were the man's problem and not the Queens? Rai would pause for a moment and look into the distance, pretending to dramatically and innocently frame her reply. And when her reply came, she'd say in the sweetest of voices, and calmly take Natasha's small and frail hand in her own warm one, her voice would be just too sweet and make Natasha shiver with fear that she had gone too far.
Rai would put on the fake smile, it made Serenity pull her cloak tighter around herself and then began the new and fresh tears that fell freely. Rai would say, my dear sweet Natasha, then she would start off and say something of that the Queen has her own trouble. It is known for the problem to be with the woman more than the man. She would tell of Serenity's Mother's fears of infertility in the Girl as she was a late bloomer. The prophecy, which Serenity's mother feared came true. She would fail her King. Fail her Kingdom. And fail herself. With only producing a daughter.
Serenity cried out, and flung her hands over her ears to drown out that sickly sweet voice which made her skin crawl. She had to get out, the rain was heavy but it would clear. It had that smell. She rushed into the arch way and up the stairs. She intended to tip toe quietly past the work room but stopped just short of the entrance as she could hear Rai's voice turn into a gossip whisper, "I heard the King is going to put her away if she can not produce an heir before he returns!''
Serenity pulled herself up straight and threw back her hood and entered with a sharp and snappy voice, "What the King and I do Rai, Is none of your concern.'' Serenity ended off flatly. She stared hard at Rai.
Rai smiled and made a pretty curtsy, "Sorry if I have offended you my Lady Queen, but the King is my brother and I only have his best interests at heart. It is only a rumour."
Serenity looked at every one of her women in the eye, "The King has not made any suggestion or hint of it. So I guess all of you should be getting on with your work and not idol gossip! You are Ladies! Not jesters of the King's!" It was a lie. Serenity snapped, "I am going out."
The women gasped in Horror and fussed, "You can't!" many said, "You'll catch your death in that Rain!'' But Serenity waved them silent sharply, "I am Queen. I can do what I like." She ended off flatly and turned to leave and as she walked on she heard Rai say, "Let her go. The Queen, like she said can do what she likes." She was so patronising it made Serenity's blood boil. She shoved the door open and it made a loud bang as it hit the hard stone of the wall, Serenity's maids Mina and Lita, jumped up and gasped at the fowl mood Serenity was in. They had been with her since childhood and had never known her to be as angry as she was now. Serenity waved them both silent in the heat of one command. She kicked her trunk over and the different fabrics and items spilled out over onto the cold floor. Through tears that stung she pulled on her doeskin leggings and grabbed her riding cloak and flew out of the room in flames, leaving Mina in tears and Lita stunned.
Images and words burned in Serenity's mind, her and Endymion had shared every night together this past month. How they did it without setting off warning's in people, they did not know. They felt like little school children, having done naughty deeds and sneaking away. Yet throughout the day they would acknowledge each other, but at night their passion would set a blaze across ground and then smoulder. Endymion would be in halls right now mixing with the people and their problems. How sad he must be right now! She galloped through the downs, jumping over every obstacle that would cross her path. If only she could do the same for life. If only Endymion could feel this freedom!
She had not realised where she was until the horse's legs had given way and she tumbled head first over the horse's head and into a bush full of thorns. She cried out and crawled her way out, picking out every thorn and flinching at the same time. She stroked the horse's head gently in apology as it snorted in frustration. She led it to a small stream where she could let it regenerate its energy. She carefully walked on the slope of mud, making sure to keep hold of the horse's reins for support. She suddenly stopped as she heard a crack, sharply she whirled. Again she heard another snap. The birds had stopped singing and she hadn't realised until she looked around her in a rising panic, all she could see were trees. They sky was hidden and the mist had started to slither its way in a thick cloud.
The horse's ears pricked up at the third cracking sound. Serenity tried to clam her horses as it started to snort and grind its hooves into the ground. But it shied away from Serenity and its eyes grew fierce and flashed in fear. A black , beady eyed crow crowed thrice somewhere in the trees, Serenity tried to sing to the horse, but it made the stallion even more uneasy and started to panic, suddenly a loud shout was heard and the Horse bolted, hitting Serenity and knocking her into a tree. Serenity groaned as she rolled over, she felt rough hands grab her and thrust her into some damp cloth that smelt of rust and dust. She moaned quietly as she started to surrender to her darkness.
Serenity awoke to a slow rocking, she didn't want to open her eyes encase she was about to suffer some dreaded fate. Maybe Diamond had conspired to have her put away, maybe this was it! She could ear the swashing and the swishing of gentle waves, they soothed her aching temples. She could hear the rough grunting and panting of an older man. She caught her breath as she sensed his movement, "Please, My Lord! I am Queen Serenity! Where am I?" She lay on something hard that sug into her back.
She sensed they had stopped, rough hands gripped her arms, digging into the soft and sensitive flesh, she shivered and she sensed his grin in delight. She could smell the heavy scent of stale mead and the sour stench of wine from his breath and clothes. She had known that smell before! "You are not going any where my beauty!" With that she found his rough and cracked lips on hers, she pounded weakly at his chest and made any attempts to scream, but they failed as he muffled them. She opened her eyes and felt herself fainting. The last she saw was of his yellow teeth in his smarmy grin. It was King Drustun! Beryl's Husband!
