::You find yourself once again in that strange castle as before, but you find yourself walking, walking down a hall.

And into a grand dining hall, where drums and flutes play, but there are no drums and flutes. And a queen cuts into her fancy meal, all alone. Perhaps it's time you got some answers from her.::

[keepersouha]

That doesn't really answer much. A queen could be anything.

[shadow_cosmica]

I am a queen. That is all, no more, no less. I am neither a beast, a human, a demon or a monster. I merely am, accursed one.

[keepersouha]

But a "queen" is not what something is. A "queen" is a title that is given.

I can see, obviously, you have the lifestyle of one fitting that title. *gestures around the hall, your meal, the sounds of music playing*

But what are you? That is what I'd want to know.

[shadow_cosmica]

I am as queen as the stars in the sky exist, I am for what I am. I tell you again, I am neither man, nor beast, nor demon. I exist, even if the stars fade, I was born to reign over the stars in the sky.

::If you look deeper into her eyes, you swear you can almost see the entire csomos in them.::

[keepersouha]

*probably isn't anywhere near to do so, as they look up at the ceiling*

Fine, then tell me, what are you called, madam Queen? What's your name?

[shadow_cosmica]

::The stars seem much brighter here.::

I... have forgotten. The witch's curse has left me... of much sense or memories of such things...

[keepersouha]

Ooh? A curse? So you're accursed, too?

[shadow_cosmica]

... Yes... by a jealous witch.

[keepersouha]

And what kind of curse is it? Or is it just your memories, that are cursed?

[shadow_cosmica]

She cursed my kingdom to fall to ruin.

[keepersouha]

You still seem to be living here fine, though...

[shadow_cosmica]

A land without people, without plants, without life, is not fine, accursed one.

[keepersouha]

But you're living here. You're alive, aren't you?

[shadow_cosmica]

A life alone is not truly alive, it is a half, cursed life.

[keepersouha]

And are you able to leave?

[shadow_cosmica]

::She shakes her head.::

[keepersouha]

That's strange.

Then why am I able to enter, ma'am?

[shadow_cosmica]

I know not why.

[keepersouha]

Has anyone else come, like this...~?

[shadow_cosmica]

Several other travelers...

[keepersouha]

And yet there's no reasoning how they've come? *they shake their head slightly, wandering around aimlessly, around the hall*

A bit odd then, that you can't leave, and there's no life here, and yet people are suddenly coming.

[shadow_cosmica]

... I am grateful at least, that they wish to help.

[keepersouha]

To help you break the curse?

[shadow_cosmica]

Yes... I would like this nightmare to end...

[keepersouha]

Of course. No one likes nightmares.

I just wonder why you were cursed in the first place.
