[QUOTE="Paka, post: 1007660, member: 100"] [u]Story Post # 22[/u] [b]Epilogue #4 - The Queen & King [/b] The Witch Queen and the King of the Aruun met on neutral ground, a high plateau in the Arunath Mountains. The Queen appeared out of the morning mists, black eyes taking in the breathtaking view of the Erethor and the Aruun. The King trod up a mountain path, main ruffled in the breeze, nose on the wind, making sure no ambush was imminent. They nodded to one another. The Queen broke the tense silence, “I am sorry to summon you like this. I have word, the Manti-…your wife’s murderer has been slain.” She let those words sit on the morning air. The King stood proud and strong, like an emblem on a banner and growled, “I am honored that you came in person, didn't send one of your little black-eyed pawns. I made my intentions clear. Your insurgents were to leave that Shadowspawn to me.” Somewhere above the heart of the Erethor, thunder rumbled. She returned his stare but not quite his growl, “They are hardly my insurgents. We are a fractured lot, spread thin throughout the Eredane.” “I am too busy cleaning up the mess of Demons Izrador has left in my lands,” the King said, as if it were an explanation. Again the uncomfortable silence that was typical of their meetings settled over the plateau. The Queen broke the silence, “Please accept my condolences again. Your wife was a great woman, a fine compliment to the King’s pride.” Unsure of how the Witch-Queen meant the word, pride, the King could only laugh, “It is not too late to make me your Witch-King, m’lady. The Jungle would adore you and the joining of our two kingdoms could do nothing but make us stronger in our struggles.” The Queen smiled, the gesture felt alien on her face. She immediately wondered how many decades it had been since her face had done any such thing. “You make me smile, good King. I thank you for that.” The Queen disappeared as quietly as she had come, leaving the King with the stunning view of the besieged whispering woods of the Erethor Forest and the untamed Aruun Jungle.
