When the carriage reached the king's castle, the night sky was already bright with billions of little stars and a full moon shone bright in the sky. Looking out the window, I saw maidens carrying candles. Starting from the gate till the entrance of the castle, they lit a path with the candle lights. Mike opened the door and helped me climb out of the carriage. “He's waiting for you at the other side.” he said.
I was anxious. “What do I do when I get to the other side?” “Take his hand,...let him lead you in.” came the simple reply. I looked around me, then asked, “What are the candles for?”
“They symbolize peace and guidance. It's the kingdom's way of welcoming its new queen.” He climbed back into the carriage seat and grabbed the reigns. “You're leaving?” I asked. “Yes my queen. I'll see you at the other side.” With that, he shook the reigns and the carriage took off.
I stared at the candle lit path before me. Taking a deep breath, I began my walk to the castle. It took a long while especially in these uncomfortable shoes but I made it to the entrance of the castle. There he stood, I saw him much more clearly now.
He stretched his hand out towards me. I don't know why but I hesitated and took a step backwards. The maidens gasped. The moon hung right above us both, shimmering in it's silver glory. Alexander walked towards me and my whole being froze. There he stood with me, underneath the moonlight. Slowly, he took my hands and said, “Don't be afraid. I'm right here. Everything's alright.”
