#anionetta

Anionetta sits silently as she heard the prayers of the priest,watching a trembling prisoner and Caelestra staring blankly on that fancy dress. She was nothing but Anionetta’s new pet to show off to the world. Caelestra bit her tongue slightly “Your most holy Queen.”Anionetta turned her glided eyes towards Caelestra “Yes my child..” Caelestra has to remain careful in these times,Anionetta is like that vengeful ,evil and dark Aqua vitae empress hungering for young blood. Her tongue held only in letters between Drago and someone else. “I am exhausted.” There is that slight tremble as she saw the blood spilling on the ground. It reminded of that chest wound that Caelestra stabbed on Viven,bloody and rotten,just like herself. She stood steadily “Do you need some chocolate or the waters..”

She is about to say the truth.her mind is haunted by that feast that she went alone. In that mere moment courage hid fear,for it was said by Bjorn in one of the legends that it was the darkness like the rot in the corpse that will consume you. How she wished for that but Blair intruded slightly,noticing the paleness of Caelestra. He bowed silently unto her “Excuse me your Holy Queen..” as he cued Lunetta to bring Caelestra along to the nearest shady area. It will surely distract Anionetta from their plans of spying. “For once I agreed with you,someone her age,should see the grimness of people who could betray you."

“You,Blair one of my most loyal subjects think I’M crazy?!”Anionetta hissed angrily,her slender fingers digging through her gorgeous gown “I am not,it shows fear.” Blair clasped his sword tightly,he must follow Lady Caelestra’s orders “but is it a little much my queen?”Anionetta froze slightly,that thought sunk in her head. Perhaps it was much for Lady Caelestra,maybe in her sheltered life, she never saw blood split before. Anionetta bowed slightly “Lord Blair,if she rules the country she must evoke justice like the Mother we worshipped.”

Blair nodded slightly “True. True.” However Anionetta slowly fell into that cloaked lie that Caelestra stole her thunder. She will choke her. “But fear can be turned over by someone kinder and gentler, don’t we want that my queen?”

“Yes…”

Long the days where Alina and him will play with the sands,and Alina will animate the stories to young Adnan in awe. Somehow Adnan trekked painfully on the cold Aph mountains-the frozen coffin as many said. Adnan lamented that Alfronso’s wisdom will never see Anionetta’s cruelty and focused on breaking Alina’s heart.

The coldness drained his spirit and heart-as he could hear eerie prayers and Anionetta dressed in gold and white lace-like an avenging figure,for she smiled at the corpses slain-”My dear Adnan’s my father’s favourite” as white horse circled around Adnan “You are probably next,for poisoning my father at his deathbed with your cruel words-” There he recalled an advice which the king never took.

The feast of St Eulalia,Alfronso smiled as he seen Anionetta teaching little Eulalia who is more focused on running up and down the hallways than to light the candles. “My rose Adnan,always lovely-” Alfronso has this dreamy voice,however Adnan could foresee the worse as he seen that Anionetta’s heart is bitter on the new princess “Be careful I will not let Euilalia be near to your rose,for she has the thorns beneath the beauty” Alfronso patted him by the back “Do not worry my rose will not harm my beloved Euilalia-”

A young maiden,for she hid herself in fear in layers of clothes,given by people emphatic of hers,some say she is cursed and others a creature horrendous that her father attempt to drown her. No one remembers her face of existence thus she is the “Nameless” Walking through the drifts,fearing the wolves came,she ran fearfully,the clothes she collected all sprinkled in the ground,gossamer,silk and even peasant linen. All frozen,she laid naked,and she sadly knew her fate is done,until she saw an injured wolf bleeding-carrying the young girl up. She cannot feel anything expect death’s embrace and the blood stained.

Anionetta peeped on that cradle on baby Euilalia while her mother is busy reading the texts,the baby at sleep-”Let’s poke her make her wince,my father will listen to me as I am his favourite” Mia looked around for objects to poke it “How about this” Anionetta smiled coldly “perfect” There she grabbed the needles and start poking at her,her cries grew louder in pain. It cause alarm to eulalia’s mother,who slapped the young Anionetta “A princess should respect its relatives”. there Anionetta 

On the crackling fire,she blearily woke up to see a man-his face stained in blood. Her face in horror as she quickly covered herself up with furs for modesty. His voice calm “Do not fear,I will not harm you”,as he used his hounds to bring sweets and treats beyond the poor girl’s hunger. She could barely make a noise but grunts,biting the hounds. Yves signalled his hounds to refrain from attacking her. “Seems you do not have speech-”,there he holds the container of the eyeball of Cid,with a trance spell,Yves forced her to swallow the eye ball. There a gush of air came from her mouth “WHO ARE YOU?” her eyes widened in horror rubbing her throat ‘How can I speak-where am I?”.

Yves sighed audibly-”Seems eating the eyeball of the damn Cid gave you the power of speech-” there he brought the young girl up “You are nameless,as I heard from near and far” as he circled on the girl covered in furs. “Ahh but I cannot name you Nameless” as he swirled in shadows,placing a crown and a sceptre on her head. The girl feel slightly frightened on that power “Why are you nameless?” She could barely think why,her thoughts racing on that. “I do not know,I am always like that,a figure of pity and fear in a bad manner-I am cursed”Yves realizing,that she has the powers of speech replied emphatically “you are not cursed,I promise to take care of you-” as he embraced her like his daughter. The seeds are planted,as Yves taught her to be a human all over again,modelling her with manners and the knowledge way before her time. 

Anionetta wept as her father Alfronso cuddled her “What did my sweet Anionetta did to you”. Her smile is delighted that her father meets her whims “Aunt Alina thought I bully cousin Euilalia-but there are bees stinging her” Mia watching her friend’s dramatic act “Is it true Alina-” Her mouth shut-”Your daughter is mad,she is hurting Eulalia” King Alfronso looked coldly at her “No BUTS! APOLOGIZE TO ANIONETTA,anyway she is a rose”. Grudgingly she apologized to Anionetta,there she spun to the darkness with Yves’ glances.

He decided to call the nameless girl KONUL,because a part of his soul was given to that nameless girl. For she grew beautiful and her spirit strong as she debated with the old gods,and for once she feels belonged to the palaces Yves made,the whims she demanded. For Yves could create chaos as he walked around freely,while she ruled in his behalf. On one of the meetings,with the conquerors-she fell in love with bashfully handsome Aesc,her heart winced in love. When he came from his mischief making,he saw his adopted daughter in tears,Yves embraced her “what is wrong my love”. Her eyes damped in tears “what is that feeling,that longing for an another soul”. 

Yves is unsure how to put it in words,for he never feel a thing called love,as he always trick people to malicious things with love as their drive.He is known for bedding mortals into chaos. However he could feel Konul’s pain,so he made something-a little ring which feels hot “Slip it to Lord Aesc’s bed,see if he is true,his body will not turn into ash,and consummate him” There he embraced his daughter “Anyway a Queen needs a heir of her own”.

While Aesc is on the meeting,she laid herself in bed,ready to be with him,in body and spirit. On his sleep,Konul tried to win him over by putting her body into his. However Aesc refused to bed with her,thinking of his beloved Alma,as he slipped the ring of commitment “GO OFF YOU BITCH” and turned Konul into a bear waited to be hunted. There Yves could feel that a part of him was gone as Aesc ran to Yves “YOUR DAUGHTER IS LECHEROUS LIKE YOU” and there he summoned him to a duel,for Yves for the atonement of his daughter now gone and Galahad for the horror of Yves’ allowing. For the fight last for many deaths,in creation the passionate people,flowers and trees.

Despite many attempts to gain King Alfronso’s attention by gifted in everything from singing to being loyal in her prayers,his mind fickle with many mistresses and queens he went,but oddly he was loyal to his dear Alina which plagued Anionetta.

Benoni-The pits

As Benoni sat at the pits playing with the necklace that he is brought out,Beoni called faint tears of his mother,seeing her son go as the mayor sadly bringing out as the scapegoat -carrying the the anguish of his people out fo the deserts

His heart sank,for seeing the glimpses of Anionetta’s army,the holy queen walking the mosaic floors and the people reluctant to bow to their new queen,in resulting blaming Benoni for causing the invasion to their home. The last he seen those towns of his,the statutes of Anionetta enlightened by the divine carry through the buildings and the guards looking at him coldly. A cursed human some of its citizens mutter.

Benoni drifted to sleep with the sands to be awoken by all creatures frightening. Benoni knows that he have to run,with flashes of sliver-he disappeared like a mirage. His heart raced in that realization why he is left behind to be eaten do that his city would cleansed from the groans of Anionetta’s rule.

His legs weary from the bursts of speed and eyes fearful of the unknown,he clasped his little knife,ready to stab anything,All was useless when the creature nearly came over him.

Maya-The interrogation

“What do we have here” Anionetta curled her lip slightly,there the guards push a petite girl,her eyes are fierce staring at the God with cold eyes. Anionetta walked to Antonio,her eyes haughty,examining this prisoner

 Antonio bowed down “Your holy Queen-this girl has something special-a navigator thought it will help you to find Soo Ling and mostly Euilalia” She could tell by her tattoos of a compass “They are blessed with a strong sense of direction”-Antonio added,Anionetta become pleasantly surprised by that person “Could be useful to find those rats”,as she clutched at the handcuffs of Maya “Go and find me those rats especially Eulalia and you will be free” Maya stared coldly “I am not going to serve the gifts I have with a bitch like you” There she spitted at Anionetta’s lace dress,and Anionetta felt shocked on her rude expression “I seen cities burn because of your holy sanction,only leaving the dead on your altar”

There she clutched on Maya’s neck “You are going to exterminate the sinners whenever you like it or not” Her eyes defiant on her orders “Orders from the Holy Queen is final to be judged by the divine” There she looked at the prison guard “Perhaps she needs to be imprisoned,there she could change her mind”

Priva-The song in the caves

That expression of fear,as Radha clutched her sister tightly in the caves,Priva asked with a slight fear “Are you sure we will be alright” Radha’s eyes soften,comforted by these  words,however he mind swirl on the runways,as the water trickled slightly  

“Your niece my dear Adnan”-King Alfronso noticed the soft gaze of his advisor Adnan “Yes your majesty-”-Adnan smiled. The king has the most joyful laugh ever “Euilia after the saint Eulalia of Merida feast day-what a wonderful girl with bright eyes and intelligence like my wife” Adnan nodded at his sentiment-his niece has the intelligence which amused the servants and the compassion for the needy “One day I will put her as my heir once she come to age,but for now I will put my rose Anionetta”

“Anionetta ?”-Adnan questioned “Yes your majesty she is come to age,but her character  not” as they walked to the gardens. Alfronso waved gently to his love Euilia,who is petting a cat walking beside. “As your advisor-beneath the rose there are throns-you may get hurt”

“Do not overreact my fellow friend Alfronso-I love my dear Euilia,but she could not rule given of her heritage”-Alfronso looked calmly “I am sparing her youth-to enjoy an idyllic life of being a princess”

Adnan protested “Sir I see Anionetta’s madness,heed it,wait til Euilia is old enough-she is capable in character” 

“My decision is final-I decide who shall I descend” Alfronso shouted “TO hell or not help me God”.

Seems my advice fell into deaf ears,the sudden death of a wise king,his choice Queen Anionetta rise to the throne,in her holy spiral of madness,building her reputation as The Mother of Mercy,The Holy Queen.

As he glanced through the walls of the dark caves,his heart emptied-for now winds of stories blew near and far. Out of the sudden one bowed down “We may have the glimpse of hope of the lost princess” Adnan’s eyes welled in tears “where?”
