NO REFILL: WAIT UNTIL THE SUNSET DIES: PART 5
Sunset
Dies,
The
castle, palace, headquarters, or however you wish to address the structure is
dark after a closing night of plea services. Key sits on his throne fresh with
sweat from speaking to his people.
Every
third night in Sunset Dies all citizens have to travel to the castle and listen
to him speak about how he will help them heal and how they can help him in his
quest to remove pain from creation.
Key
is awaiting his chance. He knows it may not come today, or tomorrow, but it
will and he will be ready when it does. His pain and those who have chosen to
give themselves to him will be freed.
Standing
up from his throne chair he pushes his toes forward and tight within his boots
hearing footsteps approaching the throne room. The footsteps he hears are those
of his only advisor, his only trustee, Selent Rand.
She
is the life who named him and the focus of his quest.
‘Selent
my trust, what news do you bring me of our lives here?’
Selent
pushes her cape behind her back with both hands as she stops in front of him
shoulders back and stance strong like a warrior, ‘My Rule we have another in
your Kingdom.’
‘Happens
every day my friend. Have the spirit brought to the city so we may lead them on
the journey.’
‘But
My Rule this is not just any other spirit. This one is touched by destiny.’
‘The
spirit has the smell?’
‘Yes.’
‘Bring
the spirit here quickly then. If this one is touched I think they will get
involved.’
‘You
believe they will send The Healer?’
Key
holds his hand up to his face looking it over as if it was a piece of spoiled
meat he was holding, ‘I do believe so and I have been waiting to meet this
one.’
