The Sunlit Crest
The Sunlit Crest: a beast brought unto a world of kingdoms vying for sovereignty, born from the punished sins of its mother. Such a terrible tragedy it was for the queen; a woman adorned with jewels who sought so desperately to carry a beautiful daughter of her own, who she could one day sculpt into the perfect reflection of herself. Alas, the devil cruelly tore that dream from her grasp, for what he saw was not a woman worthy of such blessings—but rather a ghoulish beast cocooned within delicate skin. Horrified, the disgusted queen refused to entertain any semblance of a motherly role towards the creature who laid before her. She averted her gaze and banished it from her sights, ordering her subordinates to lock it away within the dungeon for many decades to come. Long before the wake of this tragedy, the queen sat upon her throne and overlooked an era defined by the gilded crowns reign over man. Old whispers say her beauty was a heavenly light that blinded those to a kaleidoscope of sin; with legends telling of the pride that birthed a kingdom built upon the foundations of greed. Glutton ignited the flames of a wrathful heart that bore resentment to those who stood before her prosperity. Sloth forbid nurturing of her subjects, whilst an immense ------- for power snaked its way into the irises of which the queen perceived her world. Her majesty hungered for strength, flaunted her allure, sought fortune and demanded mans obeisance… But ultimately, not a thing could ever quell her voracious desires—for at her core she was a monarch crowned by the envy of those who’s shadows she walked. Groveling beneath her feet lay sullen and feeble subjects, tethered to the pursuit of tyrannical sovereign; fated to be insects caught within the threads of a spiders web. Murmurs shadowed the kingdom, whispering rumors of the queen and her dealings with the devil.
