about

The Queen sat alone in the courtyard. Everyone had left long ago, but she couldn’t bring herself to move. She just stared at the ground. She did this for hours. Slowly it got darker, and darker, until the Queen could barely make out the patch of ground she had been staring at for so long. Just before all the color was about to leave the courtyard, a green light illuminated the spot in which her eyes were fixed. The Queen first recognized the source as a leaf, but the leaf also seamed to be growing, sprouting limbs at an incredible pace. She now noticed these plants were growing all over the courtyard, and had become quite large. Within a matter of moments the trees were already completely over her head and surrounding her.
For the first time since she walked down the steps of the tower, The Queen felt like she could move again. The trees seemed to form a path, so she followed that path for a distance that seemed impossible for such a small courtyard. Eventually she came upon a clearing. In the clearing there was an immense open space with a lone tree in the exact center. As The Queen approached the tree she noticed that hidden in the shade was a sword that had been thrust into the earth. When she went up and touched it the leaves began to rustle and the roots and braches shot back into the earth. Where the tree once was, there now stood only a cloaked figure. A figure she recognized. The Queen found a strange fascination in the thought that this figure had only once before become present to her. The day she first said Hello to her Husband, and now he returns, just after the last Goodbye.
