The Queens' Trials

 

There was once a princess that became queen. Though the Queen was very beautiful, her subjects did not think that she was upto the task. So they gathered and decided to test her and should she pass, then they will always pledge loyalty to her no matter what. However, should she fail, they would all move away and pledge their loyalty to the rival king. They had discussed this all night and came up with the first trial. One of them ran to the royal kitchens and stole a few loaves of bread and did not get caught. He then went to the guards and confessed to his crime. That was when the Queen came by and the guard told her what the man had told him.

"I have heard your plea and I know the fitting punishment. You will spend three months mucking out the stables. And should anyone lift a finger to help you then they shall join you in your punishment and have it in double. This neither will be paid for." She declared. "And you are to start today."

Then tears of joy ran down his face.

"Oh you are merciful and disciplined!" He cried. "You have proven yourself oh Great Queen!"

She nodded graciously.

"Thank you."

The commoner served his punishment gratefully. This convinced many but many more remained unconvinced. They gathered together and discussed the second trial. When they had finished the discussion they had decided and set out to do it. One of them hid from sight and another confessed to his murder. 

"And why did you do this?" She asked, her voice calm and angry.

"I-I do not know." He said incapable of thinking of a lie.

"If that is your answer then I shall have to put you to death. It pains me greatly to have to do this but I know that it must be done. My father instilled in me that a kingdom is the wife, or, in my case, husband of the King or, in my case, Queen and our people are like our children and there are times of which when those need to be protected from others and I can not cast you out and exile you for you will kill again." She said as a soldier ran in.

"Your Majesty the rival king has arrived at the gate and he demands to see you now." He panted as he was pushed out of the way by that very king.

"Hello Your Majesty." He said calmly but with an arrogant and aggressive tone to his voice. "I would like for us to join our kingdoms together and bring an end to our long war. I think that marrying me would do that. Do you not agree? That way you need not worry about the complicated little things like peasants and I will help you by taking the burden of the crown off your delicate head and into more capable hands."

The Queens' lip curled.

"No, for I already know that would be forfeiting my kingdoms' freedom over to you and that is out of the question if that is the price." She said. "And I would rather die than bow or be wed to a pig like you!"

The Evil King sighed as his soldier brought out the man that had hid. She looked at the man that confessed to his murder.

"So you did not kill him after all." She scolded. "We shall decide on a suitable punishment for your lie."

"Are you sure that you would not bow a 'little pig like'-"

The Queen took up a sword and sliced his leg off! She then gripped his hair and pointed a sword at his throat.

"I will kill your Evil King if you do not let my man go!" She shouted her eyes were filled with a fierce bloodlust.

"You would kill a king for a peasant?!" The Evil King sneered.

"I would, for he is of far more worth than you!" She snapped. "And if you are anything like the king that you make yourself out to be then let my man go."

The Evil King looked at him which did not budge. Only to look at him and kill him on the spot!

"Then let my family be avenged!" He shouted as he turned the blade to himself but then the Queen cut the sword out of his hand.

"No, you must have your judgement fall in your own kingdom by the proper systems." She said as he was pulled away.

This was told throughout the kingdom and all pledged their loyalties to their Queen assured that the crown had passed their trials.

Scar Parents Fight Part Three

  Hunter’s Defence  Scar opened her eyes. She then walked down the stairs. She slowly took out her homework, just to take her mind off the day before she started doing it. She started with her maths to fode her mind to focus. She then moved onto literacy. After she had done both her mind felt sharp and clear of all of the upset. She looked up, it was half past seven. She then took a slice of bread. She then put it in the toaster and pulled out a tin of beans. Half of them had already been eaten the day feforeshe then put it in the bowl and then put it in the microwave for a minute. As she waited she picked up a newspaper. Three women arrested. They claimed to be witches yet none have any drugs in their system. They were arrested  for killing four children. When asked why they claimed  it was to obtain power. So they've been arrested. Good! She heard the beeping and soon put the beans on the plate then took the toast out and soon took out a fork. After ripping the toast in half she

The Nine Dragons The Serpent Dragon Part Three

  The Boa Army Loc was working hard in the field. It was getting to evening time. She had found that she liked working there as a farmer. There was just something so satisfying in doing hard work and made the food taste better and she slept better too. She could see herself doing this for the rest of her life however long that would be, yet she knew that she could not. Regardless of how much she liked the village and the people there. She had noticed that the people there looked almost like the people in her world just without any pupils and they were weaker too. She also noticed that despite this, they were all hard working and nothing was eaten until they had done their work. During this time she had completely recovered her whole energy and strength from all of the battles that she had on that day. She had also been able to gather her thoughts and psychology recovered and was able to have her time of mourning her losses from her rebellion. Yet she found that this might have been due

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Six

 The Purple Monster  “Why?” “Open the book and put all of the other Purple Artefacts into the page that it fits.” Doormaze nodded as she opened the book. On the first page as a hole where she put the Purple Purl in. The page glowed and for a moment. When the glowing died down the purl was in the page, almost like a picture. She then turned another page. There was another hole with a flower hole in. She then placed the Purple Flower in. It glowed and soon the flower was in the book. She turned the page, where she placed the Purple Feather in.  Once it became a picture the book glowed. Soon light flooded the room. All had to close their eyes as the light became far too bright. Then Doormaze no longer felt the book in her hands. She opened her eyes to see a light above her hands almost like a miniature star. What is this? Then it became so bright she had to close her eyes again. Then she felt something covering her body. It felt light and comfortable. Her eyes opened to see that she was c

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Four

  The Purple Book They travelled down the cave in West Mountain for an entire day. Yet they did not leave until the following day. They left the cave to see a group of small houses. They were all small and in the style of King Garnet’s castle. “This is the abandoned town of Faiton. It’s here somewhere. So I think we will have to go in them to find it. You need not worry, there has not been a single person seen here in decades.” The other three nodded. “And what does this next artefact look like?” “It is a purple book. It is made from the same material as the crystal flower.” “Right. Then, let’s split up and explore every house.” Doormaze spoke, punching her fist. “And mark the door of the house that has been checked and leave the door open while it's being checked.” “Good thinking.” They all split and walked into the first house that was closest to them. They all started on the ground floor. Then the first floor and the second floor. Upon seeing nothing, they left the house. They p

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Three

  The Purple Flower They, because it was late when they reached the top chamber, decided to take a break. They lit a fire and, after cooking a small stew, started to eat. “Now, tomorrow, where to next?” “Well, Doormaze, we must travel over the Flower Bridge. It used tobe a small village on a large plot of land that the other mouth of the cave leads to. The houses were too and far between. It was mainly covered in many different purple flowers.” “And that’s why it’s called Flower Bridge?” “Well, that is because of the plot of land that joins the East Mountain, which we are in, and West Mountain, which is where the Purple Flower is in, is naturally formed.” “And there is nothing underneath it.” “No.” “Well,” She said, finishing her meal. “That’s something to sleep on.” After they all ate their meal,they went to sleep. Doormaze dreamed of Natalie again. She opened her, now dragon, eyes. She walked over to the dragons. They were sound asleep. She smiled as she turned away from them. She wa

Scar Parents Fight Part Four

  Mother’s Knife Scar woke. She saw Morara right in front of her. She dived back as she punched her. She tried to unbuckle, yet she noticed that she soon noticed that it was jammed. She tried to pull the belt but that too was jammed. She tried to pull it again and again and again but it did nothing. She looked up in fear as she saw the knife coming at her. She quickly dived out of the way then the knife turned to her. She tried to punch her but she caught her wrist. She tried to pull her hand out of her hand. Yet she was too strong. She saw the knife getting closer and closer. She hit the arm as hard as she could which made her drop the knife. She then finally pulled out more of her belt and fell out. She then felt a slit in her arm. She let out a whimper as she looked up at Morana went to stab her again and again. She kicked her again and again and again. She looked at both Alex, who was unconscious. She drove her hands to his belt and she pulled the belt and he hit his head as he fel

Scar Parents Fight Final Part

  Assassin’s Sacrifice  Charlotte, knowing that none of them had any time or chance to call an ambulance, ran. She knew where the hospital was and that none of them had any time to lose. She ran down the street as fast as she could. Yet it must have been obvious where she was running to as Morana looked at her innanyer and knew in that moment she would kill to stop her from going there.  Her parents had the exact expression on their faces when she had to stop pretending that she was a boy. After all, they always wanted a boy and when she was born a girl they tried to turn her into one. But the only thing that reminded them that she was a girl was her name, which they shortened to Charlie at one point. Just to keep the illusion that she was a boy alive in their deluded minds. The only thing that got her out of that situation was the series of dead girls that were her sisters and only one son being alive at the cost of her neglect. Van Kira, she remembered his name was. “Oh no you don’t!
