The Tenth Throne of Fire

by Adimega10

"Do you think it's easy ruling during time of crisis? Chaos is rising, deities all over the pantheon are questioning my authority and I have to alter my plans to compromise with a literal child. I love you, Mother, but your constructive criticism is the last thing I want to deal with." Welcome to the 10th anniversary rewrite: "The Throne Of Fire - And We Shall Await The Sunrise".

She was drowning.

There was a woman's voice saying it's all going to be okay.

Mama said it's all going to be okay.

Iskandar said it's all going to be okay.

Iskandar said he'll come back for her.

Mama said she'll come back for her.

Mama zamanha gaya.

Mama promised she'll be back.

Gaya baedeh shiwaya.

The water got denser and darker.

Something pushed her up untill her head was above the surface.

She wasn't drowning anymore.

She was swimming in oil.

The oil shimmered and images appeared on its surface.

A face.

She'd seen that face before.

There was a woman's voice saying just hold on a little longer.

There was a monster whispering I will destroy the girl you seek just as I destroyed her village.

There was a face searching for her in the oil.

He couldn't see her.

He'd said it's going to be okay.

He'd promised to find her.

Gaya baedeh shiwaya.
