Karen's Perspective.
Skelletons in her cabinet. At first sight I never thought of the queen as someone who had skeletons in her cabinet. As if it was too delightful to be her, like a queen bee, or perhaps a prom queen.
But as we all have eyes, I know that we all have things to keep too.
Perspective of dilemma wasn't a fortune for me to tell, but perhaps a story I'd forever be curious about. Unless...
"For years I had wondered, what it would be like if the planet was backwards. And for years, I had wandered, I searched everywhere, anywhere, just to get her back." She proclaimed. The air grew cold as she wept her tears and tried to cheer up.
This maybe the proper time to use the phrase 'She could cry a river' for as I see, she shed no tears at all, ironic? Yes cause as she explained,anything wet could not reach this athmostphere, but I knew her eyes must've cried the hardest cries.
I never knew what to do either when a person is in discomfort, as to normal people, thats the cue, and what to do is to give them comfort, but I've never gave comfort to myself, how would it even be to someone who's lost a child.
She glanced at me and smiled. Then thats when I came in for a hug.
"Im sorry" my voice muffled from her shoulder. "But perhaps you could explain, a little" I strangely said, I never thought of asking a favor from a high priestess nor a queen of a mysterical planet. "of what happened?" I continued.
I slowly let go of her embrace and sighed deeply.
" After the war, I was discovered by Pyleren" she said and stopped as I gave a quite questioning face towards her. "My husband?" she explained. But I still had no idea of the vast sea she was talking about. "The king" she said lastly. And thats when I got it. With a finally face in response she continued.
" I carried his baby, we had plans, we had love, we had everything, except, of course, the expectation that we'd loose her" her eyes deepened, like a miscreant well who'd drown anyone and she looked so pale.
"I'm sorry to say that that happened. But forgive me queen, I am very well curious of what has happened to her."
She blinked a couple of times and controlled her breathing, while I, I was simply fiddling with my fingernails hoping she wouldn't be offended by my curiosity with my heart pounding louder and harde ron my chest, she spoke.
"It was exactly her 256th day, where I pampered myself with her right next to me on a hammock, she was laughing cheerfully and was trying so hard fpr her toes to reach her mputh and finally chew it. I looked at her through the mirrow and smiled..." She stopped and shook her head slowly to herself. "And, as I never exp-"
And as she said, I never expected too that a portal opened right behind he and grabbed me through it. Goddamn it. The portal vanished into thin air and left a whisp.
Queen Thyrzza was equally surprised as to what she saw happened. "Oh. Well, thank you for the ten minute trial." she said as I vanished.
"As I never exp-" that was the last wprds I heard from that conversation, from that talk at the garden.
Why you ask? 'Cause a random human just pulled me into a freaoing portal without permission. It didn't make me dizzy but it rather gave me a sick feeling of throwing up and sneezing then being cancelled.
I feel to the ground and my back hit a wooden counter. My hands undusted themselves and pused myself up to stand so I could finally know where the hell I was kidnapped to. But as I rose, a gloved hand pulled me back down from my shoulder. I banged back to the ground obviously not at ease.
"Okay that is it kidnapper, you took me through a portal and now you wont let me..." Words got stuck as I noticed it was Trystann whom had done all of these and she was right next to me. "stand up" I finished shyly and untypicall.
Trystann sniggered to me with his blue eyes and soft lips.
"I am getting out of here" I told him. He shook his nead and mouthed "no" to me. This time I thought standing up and looking for Queen Thyrzza was the best idea for I had left her disrespectfully and without notice, also that she didn't get to finish her stpry and I am ever curious. But It seemed like a stupid idea as Trystann tackled me back down to my knees behind the counter.
"What are you... doing!?" I asked him as he gripped my arms and is now on top of my shoulders. Silence was given as response.
"Trystann would. You. Let. Me. Go!" I said. bet he shook his head. I sighed and felt my back ache as I was still on my knees but trystann was on my shoulder. "Not if you don't promise to not leave" he said in condition. for a few seconds I thought about what he meant. It was like a puzzle, theres enough nots and donts to make him confusing. I gave him a weird confused face as my face itself made my eyebrows closer together and knotted my forehead.
"Just don't go anywhere" he tried to explain then sighed as if he was thinking I couldn't understand anything. Well I guess it would've been easier if he said that instead. "Alright. Alright!" I responded and he let me go. I pushed him away from my shoulders and I sat properly.
"What do you want from me?" I asked him. "We need to fix something" he said and looked forward to explain more but I cut him out. " No, you need to fix it, stop including me Trystann." I declined. Cause its obviously not with me.
"I'm not including you, you're obviously included" he explained to me. But as much as I wanted to try and help him, I had better plans. "No, no. I have to finish with Queen Thyrzza, she was just about to tell me the reason until you dragged me to a portal" I said. He looked utterly surprised with what he heard. "tell you the reason of what?" he asked calmly. He closened his face to mine waiting for a response. " nothing, lets just get this done what do you want?" I asked him. He glanced out of the counter.
"Remember when I erased Helius' memory?" He asked. " Oh you mean hen you killed him to flames?" I asked sarcastically. But he singed his finger and shushed me. " No, okay, fine, alright! When I burnt him alive. Well hes back now, and I have a feeling he'll wpnder who you are and realized that I erased him out. Sp thats kind of danger. But heres the plan, we'll go there, and then we'll talk to him, lure him into believing that you've been here for years and that hes totally out of his mind" He explained
But I was so incontent. Top much to not give a response that would make him change his mind.
" That literally spells out Suck Plan" I said and giggled.
"Thats rude, and what will we do if not that?" He asked me.
At that time I did not have an idea at all. not at all. but words just came out of my mouth as if my brain hasits own mind, well, it is a mind though.
" Just distract him and Ill do something." I spilled out. Word vomit, Unexpected news, Whatever. I didn't knew what I meant or what I was gonna do but I had a feeling that it was right and that I have to do it.
"What?" He asked me in doubt. I'd say that it's sad that he doubts me. "Just trust me!" I yelled. But it didnt seem to work for him. He mouthed no. As in no. It was quite positive that he meant no. "Come on lets go!" I said and I pulled him out of the counter. He was in disagree but as he lost control and bumped into Helius' feet while I walked slowly and naturally behind them nearby the door of the parlor.
"Astra? What you doing laying on the ground boy?" Heluis asked him with a concernedface and voice. I completely forgot his name here was Ass tra. Sorry I mean Astra. Its almost like ashtray though. He looked so troubled as the stood up from the ground, fixed his clothes and mumbeled. " I uhh, it's... Well, uhm, Im glad to see you!" He responded.
I moved to the other door to get a better view on them and an easier walk nearer.
"As I am to see you too" he replied and smiled at Trystann. Then he glanced at me so I signaled a just-keep-distracting signal to him.
"Uhh, well did you see the other..." Trystamns words faded off as if I was slowly deafened or maybe, I was just too focused at the moment. I mooved my boot forward and walked slowly and quietly trying tp vibe in with the crowd at the parlor, I looked straight to helius as if he were a target. Well, maybe he is.
Him and Trystann Has some random conversation that looked interesting enough. Still, I have no idea of what Im about to do but I seemed so focused so trustworthy of my own.
Things slowed down as I was exactly behind helius and my hands suddenly had a mind of its on moving rythmically around Helius' head, I was shocked when a cream-like whisp came out of my hands as it moved around. Then my brain focused on the idea, the purpose, for him to know me. Then it stopped. My fingers came back to my pockets and.I randomly stepped beside Trystann and snapped.
Tluck.
After that, Heluis was completely different.
