“Dear Mogshade, please bless this union, for the sake of your kingdom, order, and peace.”
Morwenna knelt in front of a tall statue of the fae king in the temple of Shadeism in prayer.
A priestess clad in a long flowing dress embroidered with pearls and mountain laurels.
“Greetings, your highest madam. I was not expecting to see you here today.”38Please respect copyright.PENANAybNfOc1zsK
The queen glanced over her shoulder at her.
“Why is that, Andromeda?”
“You usually only come on central days or sacred dates.”
Morwenna paused for a moment at the priestess’s observation.38Please respect copyright.PENANAOYNcd1Bprj
“...Oh, I suppose you are correct.”
She replied.
Andromeda let out a chuckle.
“I saw the strangest sight yesterday eve.”
“Oh?”38Please respect copyright.PENANAYP1RJvhpdE
“Yes… yes. Indeed I did, your majesty. It was, in fact, your son stumbling blindly down the road!”38Please respect copyright.PENANAv2pdpwFdnW
She hummed.
Morwenna nearly gagged as Andromeda continued her story.
“I thought that could not be since he must have been at the Princess’s wedding! I know you would not allow him to wander aimlessly about the village. Well, then again he is a bold one. I heard a rumor that he objected to the union!”38Please respect copyright.PENANAAA7bAHg49U
Andromeda rambled on, gesturing out one of the large, stained glass windows.
Morwenna cleared her throat and stood up, smoothing her skirt.
“Yes, that is an extremely strange coincidence and an even stranger rumor! I hate to be critical but I do believe your eyes are not what they used to be. Good day!”38Please respect copyright.PENANALqKvladiQl
Morwenna chuckled as she strode out of the temple, the glass doors slamming shut so hard Andromeda was afraid they might shatter.
“...Oh my. I did not realize that was a… sensitive subject.”38Please respect copyright.PENANAcRk3nWcOOx
Andromeda murmured to herself, leaning on the statue.
