Queen Empress Leanna Sonantis Claritas Cesarea (a.k.a. Regina Illustratum)
"Black-winged dragons flew over the capital like vultures on a carcass.
They knew we would not have escaped
They knew we did not have where to escape.
The siege lasted for months, and food supplies were now decimated.
The soldiers had surrendered to despair and began to show the first signs of darkness.
The empire had fallen, and soon the world would also have been submerged in obscurity.
But despite this, my mother stayed there, like a beacon in the thickest night.
She stayed there, her spear in her hand, she stood elegant and determined.
"Your imperial majesty, we must start thinking of a way to make your escape"
"Escape ?! We have to fight, not the last word yet!"
The voices of Hei-ran and Ryung mingled together, Ryung crying, frightened by what fate had reserved for him and Hei-ran furious, ready to pull down the dragons from the sky alone.
Their voices became only white noise, like the battle that was being spent within the city walls.
"Soleil"
I looked up and my mother looked at me smiling.
I didn't understand.
There was war between the walls!
There were dead everywhere!
How could the Empress of the empire smile like that?
"Everything will be fine, Hei-Ran and Ryung will protect you, follow them and do whatever they tell you"
I remember that day very well, that voice so calm, the screams and the fire.
I remember the last sentence my mother told me.
"Guide your people out of obscurity, you are the Empress, and nothing can stop you"
I remember that phrase...it reverberated in my skull as I saw the city I loved, where I had grown up, that city that was so big and beautiful, full of art and culture, falling like nothing, completely destroyed in a minute.
In a minute, our empire had fallen...
...and I had become the empress of nothingness"
-From "Lux et Umbra" by Soleil Sophia Claritas Cesarea
