The wind howled as Mother Nature's tears replenished the earth, thunder crackled and rain poured. The rain attacked the castle, as the Queen screamed in pain. Her blood covered the floor, and hands around her. "Help, help!" Cried the servants, "The Queen!". The guards came racing in with swords drawn up high cutting the wind beneath it. They grasped onto the Queen's arms and legs and carried her out while pushing the fragile women surrounding aside. Blood stained the floor as her screams stained the minds of all that she passed by. The Queen was laid on her bed, her blood soaked into the silk sheets. The sound of the kings feet slapping the ground was heard, but no more than the Queen's pain. The king stared at the bloody women laying upon the bed, and he rushed to her. "Let the light be as darkness fades, a goddess is born and her fight will be nothing to mourn." The king said as if the words were imbedded into his skull. The Queen squeezed the kings hand and cried, "I surrender myself to heavens, my pain only a dedication to the stars and moons, the planets, and the gods and goddesses that stand before me. I now revoke my self of my godly powers and I lay among the mortal." She said as the bright complexion left her skin. The Queen became weak, and vulnerable. She let out one last scream of her own, and another was born. Her child glowed with a godly light. From a far, watched the king's mistress. She grew with anger and despair. Once the royal chamber was empty the king put the child in her crib and put her to sleep. He left in silence as the Queen went to sleep. Out from the shadows walked the mistress into the light, she approached the sleeping Queen. She grabbed the pillow that sat by her and placed it over the Queen's face, and she pushed down. As the air left the Queen's lungs she kicked her feet and cried, at last she went silent. After the mistress murdered the Queen she placed the pillow back as she found it. Next she approached the sleeping baby, she picked her up and wrapped her in the blanket that laid upon her. She walked out of the chamber and greeted the guards that stood out the door, "I was never here." Just like that she went to the Red River, she cradled the baby in her arms. She traced the name embroidered onto the blanket and laughed, "stupid, stupid child." She chuckled as she placed the baby into a basket and sent her down the river. They current carried the child from the kingdom into the near by villages. The basket washed ashore the village of Luxford, near by a small carriage house. The baby whaled and cried at the stars above. A light flickered in the distance gradually getting brighter and closer, soon the light stood above her. Out from the shadows revealed the dark silhouette into the light, there stood the fragile woman with the cocoa skin. The woman picked up the child and traced her fingers on the embroidered name, it read, Alexandra Lévillian.
