Chapter 20

The queen and her court were bathed in an unnatural golden glow, the source of which Lina could not detect. The queen’s arms were raised. Lina could hear her quite clearly and distinctly now.

“Come to me my children and drink from this cup, our royal wine, in a celebration of my eternal reign.”

An explosion rocked the palace grounds, something that Lina would have blamed on the hallucinations of the tree flower and royal wine had it not been for the sunlight streaming in from a hole in the ceiling that did not exist moments before, and the cascade of falling rock crushing the bodies beneath it. The queen’s lips continued moving, but Lina’s time of clarity was cut off.
