| Chapter 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| It is a clear spring day, the willings (Earthlings call them birds) are singing, the grass is a full, lush green. Everything is perfect. Anne and Robert have just arrived. They are catching up with Doreen and Elizabeth. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Finally at exactly 12:00 noon everyone was in the Hall for my being officially an empress to Zoni. My parents did the ceremony and I was then an official empress. After the reception, my family and I left for the dining hall where all of my favorite foods were set out for my special day. There were nallas, zippas, azzipas (the equivalent to Earth pizza), ochans (nachos), eesech (cheese), and dancy (candy), as well as pichas. For drink there was koche (the equivalent to Earth coke), ococo (coco), ack, ilkme (milk), and paples juice (apple juice). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| We all talked and ate, but eventually the only people my parents were talking to was each other and my sisters. They were ignoring me the rest of the time, until my parents left and then they said congradulations and goodbye to me and left. I couldn't believe it! Ignored by my own family, on my own special day!That was it! I was tired of being the ignored younger empress! It was time to get what I needed and deserved, attention! The only way to get that, though, was to become the one and only empress of Zoni! I needed to be strong and heartless to get what I needed. But there would be difficulties along the way, I knew. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The first thing to do was to give no hint as to what I was planning. I had to act as though everyday was just a normal every-other-day. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Chapter 2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| For about two weeks everything was going as it usually should, except for the fact that I was slowly talking, commenting actually, with some of the nobles and wealthier people about my sisters' ruling methods. I have found quite a few who think that my sisters are too kind to the needy of Zoni. With those people I have spent more of my time, talking and slowly letting them in on my plan. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The plan is quite simple really. I am going to gather a group of nobles and the wealthy and they and their servants and guards will become my army. We will capture my sisters, which will be quite easy since they have no idea of what is going on, and dispose of them, I will take the throne and richly reward all those who served in my plan. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Now, finally, at the end of the two weeks I had my army. Lord Bartingham, Lady Equilling, Lord and Lady Whitebird, Master Bracktree, Mistress Romano, Lord Zorkoloph, Lord Rammestein, and finally, and surprisingly, General of Communications (G.O.C.) Vanucatu, and all of their servants and guards who will take care of all who oppose me. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| We sat in conference and decided that on Death Moon we will capture Doreen and Elizabeth and dispose of them. (Death Moon is when, every year, the moon disappears for just one night.) It was now time to discuss how we were to dispose of the empresses: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "I will not be named 'murderer'! They shall live." I said. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Why do you wish to overthrow them and then let them live? If they live they will build up their own army and overthrow you and get the throne back!" cried Lord Bartingham. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Space them!" shouted Lady Equilling. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Lady Equilling!" I cried. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Well they won't bother you then, now will they?" she said calmly. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "I will be murdering my own flesh and blood if I do that, and I simply can't!" I said. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "I don't see why no one has said anything yet about exile. That would be the most effective way. Also, no one has to die." said Lady Whitebird. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Oh my lady! What a brilliant idea! I am so glad I have such a smart wife! Isn't she wonderful?" cried Lord Whitebird. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Yes, it is the ideal solution isn't it?" I said. "Well then, let it be done! The day after their capture the empresses will be exiled!" | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| As you can guess everything was going superbly. With Death Moon only three nights away and everything in order, I had not a worry in the world. Or so I thought... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Chapter 3 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| It all happened so fast. It took me a while to figure out what exactly had happened. It seems my plan was not perfect, for it had not included a spy. Someone was spying and giving my sisters all the information about what was being planned. The person? General of Communications Vanucatu. It seems he infiltrated because he knew of my want to rule, and could not let that happen. Vanucatu had told my sisters what I had been planning and they arrested me and my followers. After imprisoning my followers my sisters sat in conference about what whether they should exile me or not. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "It fits doesn't it? Punishment for punishment intended. A hand for a hand. Exile for exile." Doreen commented. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Yes, it is fitting, plus it works in our favor. We need someone on Earth to make sure that our creatures and people's magic is not spilling over to the inhabitants. Della will be perfect, even if she doesn't keep an eye on things, most magical creatures and people know and fear her. Yes, it's perfect." Said Elizabeth. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| So that is exactly what happened. Elizabeth and Doreen waited until a portal to Earth was open the sent me with a few guards to find a place to stay. I was only allowed to bring three of my potions-a potion of levitation, transportation, and healing-with me. Of course that would have been too easy. When no one was looking I snuck a memory potion in with the others (for you see after a certain length of time an exiled Zonian or Zyphlodian will forget their past lives and soon become an earthling, and I wasn't about to let that happen. I still wanted to rule and I would. Given time.) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
