a story set a long time ago,

The Tragedy of Alucen and Guinevere

Whoosh— the endless aquamarine stained waterfall from the palace above and its eternally circling moats crashed down beneath them, spraying them with mist and glitter-like sunlight. 

“Gwen! You better come over here!” A voice called out from the distance up above the young princess, forcing her to stop what she was doing and walk back inside. Oh, what could this be now? Gwen trudged inside, tracking river mud from outside, her dress stained from playing in the brook.

“And wipe your feet! We can’t be messing up the house because there’s guests coming!”

Gwen reluctantly slumped back to the doormat, waiting for her courtier to finally take note she was doing it. “What guest is coming? I thought no one would be arriving even this monthbecause of the incoming storms? Who would ever want to come to the Cloud Empire while a storm’s here? It’s literally the centrepoint of all incoming hurricanes. Meghan. We should be putting shields up.”

“Oh, this is a special occasion! You’ll be finally meeting your suitor, your lover in marriage, isn’t that exciting? The shields can wait, your mother can always just clone the people, right? You have angelic blood in you, after all.” Meghan, her courtier smiled. “Now make sure to put your best dress on, we wouldn’t want any prince from the Shadowlands to think we raised an animal.”

Gwen sighed. “Ughh…” She shuffled all the way to her room, up the velvet covered stairs and the door shut behind her with a clank. What a useless thing to think. Some pathetic suitor was more important than her? And they would have to get married? Worst of all, it was one of those Shadowland creeps.

A few minutes passed, and the day grew more and more dull with the afternoon sky covering itself with clouds, perhaps to screen itself from how ugly this new suitor must be. How useless, having to make up life decisions as a child. The visible sky was now cloaked in sad grey clouds, making way for the storm and the dreaded royal meetings.

“Guinevere?” There was a knock on her bedroom door. “Are you done in there? You better not be escaping through the balcony again, and I better not be talking to a brick wall.” It was her mum, who has finally stopped being a little fancy bird of paradise, always perched upon her throne at all hours. So boring.

“No, you weren’t talking to a wall. You were talking to a door. There’s a difference, y’know.”

“Guinevere! I’m not dumb. You better come out of there this instant and sit next to me for when the prince arrives or I’ll make you eat dog food for the rest of the year, okay? I’ll throw you in the cage with the rest of those petty beasts too, if that’s what you want!”

“I’m never going to let myself get married to some random dude for the sake of your money! Just go sell your endless plots of land that you stole from the poor people of the Wen of Emeralds! They wouldn’t care because everyone’s been dead and starving down there for centuries, just like you wanted!”

The door burst open revealing Gwen’s mum and a heap of wings and feathers behind her. She clasped Gwens wrist and pulled her out of the room. “You better learn how to respect those in your family, or I’ll just revoke all my loaned magic from you and let you writhe— surviving without power or money. Maybe I’ll burn your little future cardboard box as well!”

Gwen shut her mouth. It was tiring to think of a comeback to every single sentence, as nice as it feels to win an argument, it always ended with her locked in the top of the tower.

Alone.

And that’s not a good thing, not when your mum only ever left her throne for new money opportunities or to witness a public execution and see her enemies preserved forever, in the position which they died, frozen in crystal. As sick as that was, that was life.
