EVE-56: Frozen Mountain

Frozen Mountain walked along the hallway, a little pissed off. Ever since he walked out of his room that morning he couldn’t find Selenara in any of the usual places she always spent time in at that time of the day. That completely messed up his schedule! He couldn’t stand such disarray. Moreover, it wasn’t like he didn’t know the cause of this. Earlier he saw Black Sunset, the totally disorganized and undisciplined healer disciple, walking in through the front door. He coul...

The news from Eclipsa dropped like a bomb. A few weeks ago, out of nowhere, she summoned all the important grifix in the village and announced that the coronation of Selenara will be held in two weeks. It was one of the most absurd things she has ever done, two weeks were not enough time to prepare for such an important event. Everyone expected this to happen in a couple years from now - Selenara was only fifteen after all. They could’ve rebuilt part of the village for this, make ...

One could tell when looking up at the tapestries on the walls, representing old kings and queens, heroes and legends, that they were taken care of very well. At the first glimpse they looked like they were crafted just a few days ago - yet the style pointed to something centuries old. And it was true, that most of them have been crafted during Eclipsa’s reign. Frozen Mountain took care to check them every morning, and if any had a hole or a loose string he would immediately call u...

Frozen Mountain was in the main hall with the other servants, as Eclipsa was giving the orders for the day. It was a pretty casual activity for the Queen, she was less tense than usual. Soon most of the servants left to fulfill the tasks that she gave them. He was still a child and didn’t exactly get any tasks, as he was mostly asked to hang out around Selenara and make sure she didn’t need anything. After almost all the servants left, someone knocked at the doo...

The two cubs were sitting on a bench, far from the noisy crowd. That day it was a wedding in the village, and every grifix celebrated like a star fell on top of their house. Even the Queen came out, which happened very rarely, and she was soon sucked into the middle of the happy crowd. It was a strange thing to see happen to Eclipsa… but overall it was clear that the union of two grifix was a big event. Selenara was staring at the crowd, as she spoke to Frozen Mou...

‘YOU WILL LET SELENARA GO AT ONCE!!! I TOLD YOU I DON’T WANT HER TO BECOME A SLAVE OF THOSE STAR IDIOTS UP THERE!’ The little colt looked at the mare shouting in front of the Queen. She was hysterically screaming, while the rest of the room stayed quiet: Eclipsa was looking emotionless at her, though there might have been a drop of disgust in her look, but she rather looked bored and pissed. All the guards around stayed still, but there was a huge tension in t...
