Hell is empty and all the Devils are Here
- William Shakespeare , The Tempest
"Don't worry your pretty face my dear Aurelia, nothing wrong can come of a peace treaty!" Said the King of Azure. " But father you will be gone until winter, it is not the treaty that worries me it is how lonely the Palace is going to be without you and Mother!" Said the Princess Aurelia as the royal gaurd escorted the Royal Family to the shipyard where a boat would take the Queen and King to the land of Aoibhneas. There the King would sign a treaty that would ensure no further wars between the two Kingdoms.
And so the King explained to his daughter that the head of his cabinet would take the throne in his stead whilst he was gone. What the King did not know was that he and his wife would not come back from this journey.
As the ship cast off, Aurelia bid farewell to her beloved parents, Little did she know that this was the last time she would see their loving faces.
Aurelia awoke to a forbodeing fog laying over the usually sunlit Palace grounds. All that can be said about this day is that Aurelia had a sinking suspicion in her gut that something had gone terribly wrong.
