It's a cloudless night, the moon is full and the stars are at their brightest. In a garden, no, not a garden, but a beautiful graveyard filled with flowers that glisten in the moonlight. There's a stone path that leads up to a small hill with a greek-like building with open walls on it. There are five tombstones placed there like positions of honor.
A lone figure walks up the stone path and to the small building, her long raven hair flowing behind her. With her dress made from the finest black silk trimmed with silver she looks like some dark angel.
She reaches the top of the path and kneels down by the tombstones and places her hands together in the position of a prayer. Her sad face looks like one who's had nothing to smile, or even show the slightest signs of happiness, about for a long time.
She opens her grey-violet eyes, eyes that have seen too much, too young. A solitary tear falls down her cheek.
"Why did you have to die?" she whispers to the tombstones. "You all were my only friends you know..." another tear falls. "I've grown since we last met...I am no longer the child you knew..."
She addresses all of the tombstones. "Are you proud of me? Do you even care anymore, now that you've gone....?" She closes her eyes. "I can remember that day, the day all of you breathed your last... I... I only knew then... exactly how much.... how much I loved you all..."
Another crystal tear falls. "I... I just can't say good-bye to you all..."
She addressed the tombstone farthest to the left. "I've become queen now, father. But I could never replace you.... never..."
She stands up and looks at the stars. "The Star of Shabranigdo... Adnama's star... the Constallation Aicila... all... in the right places... then it's to be tonight..."
She turns to the tombstones with a determind look. "I won't let it end this way! I swear it! ...I love you all...." she says, and then runs toward the Palace in the distance.
The moon moves to just the right angle so it's light shines upon the stones and the names can be read.
