A Fragment of Memory

Once upon a time, a beautiful girl was born in a small kingdom. She had decent and loving parents, who let her grow up with an individual mind and free thoughts.

They showed her all aspects of life, only one they excluded the evil one. So that she may live to be a pure human being. As the years flew by, she developed an magnificent personality and inner peace.

Everybody in the palace and kingdom knew her as Shirinerris the Benevolent, because she was spreading love and light into the pain and darkness.

When the planet circled the two suns for the 18th time, her parents organized a grand ballet to let the whole kingdom see her and establish her position as the future queen.

Shirinerris and some friends danced happily while the ballet happened. A friend of hers asked her to leave the hall because the king, her father, wanted to see her. When she came back something happened.

The people who were at the ballet were gone. There were only a handful of knights left.. and the smell of death. Traumatized, she walked to the origin of the scent. Then, she saw it the evil. Her mother, the queen, was merciless killed at the hands of an assassin.

Time passed as the little girl tried to get over the death of her mother. In the beginning it was very bad, she would not eat or drink any of her meals that were provided by her personal maids.

Even her father, the king of the whole kingdom could not help his own child to overcome this tragedy. As a resolution to this problem he gave his only child, Shirinerris, a dog so that she has a companion that she can rely upon.

She named the dog Nolnek, her loyal companion. Sooner then anyone could have expected she took a liking to the dog. And thus there was no time were she Shirinerris could not be see without Nolnek.

So time passed, Shirinerris overcame the death of her mother and continued her training as the future queen of the kingdom. She was a excellent student in the eyes of her teacher.

Eight whole years later.

"Are you ready my dear?" He said, coming into my room as he saw the maids and artists finish up dressing a girl.

"No, father ... I'm afraid, what if I fail?" The girl which looked like a princess spoke.

He smiled at her as he moved closer and dismissed the royal maids.

"My dear, only those who doubt themselves become great, you will be the greatest queen our kingdom has ever seen." The old man spoke to the girl.

"T-Thank you father, but you will always be the king in the people's minds." She spoke while her father placed his hand on her cheek.

"And I will also always be your father, my lovely queen." He said as he held her hand. "Now come on dear, the people are waiting."

They walked out of her quarters, all the guards hailing at them as they made their way to the balcony, yet before stepping outside, her father stopped as he looked at her with one last smile.

"There is no queen without a crown, my darling." The king said as he placed a beautiful silver crown with the rarest of gems on the girls head.

"You are ready. I've done all what I can for the people, it is now your time, the new age, the new era, the era of Queen Shirinerris Ven Daemnila."

She smiled as the king held her hand once more and took her outside to the balcony, she was overtaken with joy as the people sung her name with great cheer and love. She looked to her father with a lovely smile.

He simply smiled and said. "If you fail I will help you."

She looked at the people. "And if they fail, I will help them."

Now the girls stands serenely waving a single hand to the mass of people she will lead in time. But the time is not yet there. Her father, the king stands by her side, the crowd tear their gazes at her and the elderly looking king.
