Different Agendas
Part IV: Becoming a Queen
The previous part of this tale is here: Meeting the enemy This tale is not from this month's stories.
As she walked into the cave, Beryl was surprised to see a carpet of grass. The walls were coated with a soft fuzzy coat of moss. The sight of the greenery relaxed her. She followed the grass carpet to the end of the fissure and stepped into the cavern. The sight that greeted her eyes convinced Beryl that she chose correctly. The hot spring was surrounded by lush plants, the steam bathing them and the small sitting area in a light fog. All about was softly glowing florescent moss lighting the area in a soft comfortable glow. A movement near the spring drew her attention.
A tall, red haired lady stepped out of the mists. "Welcome, Beryl. Please, come sit and join me for some refreshments."
Beryl took in her beauty. Each line of Metallia's face was perfect. The graceful sweep of her hand, the smallest swoosh of her hair, and the gently clinging dress outlining the trim figure it covered were etched into her mind. Accepting the invitation, Beryl crossed to the sitting area.
The unseelie settled in the chair across from hers. "So, you wish to defeat the Sihde Queen." Her red eyes glittered dangerously for a brief second before she continued. "This Milesian prince must be extraordinary."
Confusion crossed Beryl's face. "Milesian Prince... I want to save the prince of Elysion, Prince Endymion."
"Of course, Prince Endymion." Her tone was slightly frosty. 'They must have renamed the kingdom. It doesn't matter, they are all still Milesians. They all deserve death. Every one of them. The cowardly Sihde and the Milesians.' Her eyes warmed slightly as she gazed at the girl nibbling on a small cake. 'And this one will be the key to it all. My conquest... my revenge.'
Swallowing, Beryl sipped a glass of water that sat near her seat. "So, what is our plan?"
'Free me and let me destroy the world.' Metallia suppressed the thought, and smiled at her captive. Soon the spell in the food will set in. Soon, Beryl would be tied to her completely. "You have to attack their kingdom. You have to confront the Queen. But to get to her, you need an army."
Beryl frowned slightly as she felt her mind start to cloud over. "An army? How am I going to acquire an army?"
"I'll give you the power, the charisma to bring them to your standard." Metallia watched as Beryl's dark hair started picking up red highlights. 'Yes, soon we will be tied irrevocably together. And then you will be the first to perish, and I will walk free in you body. Then I'll free your prince... free his soul to find its way to the cosmos.'
'I have to think. I can't lose my edge or this creature will take every advantage she can.' Beryl shook her head. "I have enough charisma, I don't need yours. I need to know how I'm going to do this without drawing the attention of my enemy, and my king."
Metallia felt a small jolt as her spell was deftly blocked, the merger between them only partially completed. 'What!? No! I was going to be free. I was to....' A low growl tried to escape. Narrowing her eyes, she studied the face that waited for an answer. There she saw what she had failed to notice earlier, a stubbornness that matched hers. 'But we are bound, tied by the contract between us. I can't break it.' Clenching her fist under the table, she forced herself not to kill Beryl out right. 'There has to be a way. I will figure it out. Then I'll be free, and she'll be gone with all the others that did this to me.'
Focusing back on her prey, Metallia started spouting the first nonsense that came to mind. "They can't be hidden for too long. And the king will take it as a rebellion. If we work quickly, then we can save your prince before a civil war breaks out." 'But that won't happen... a civil war will help my revenge along nicely.' A new plan started forming in the back of her head. "Right now, you need to start building up your support. I have granted you a few gifts that might be useful to you. Once you have the support, come see me again."
Beryl nodded in agreement as Metallia stood. Following suit, Beryl stood and let Metallia lead her out of the cave. Stepping outside Beryl felt sure that everything was going to work out. 'I'll rescue Endymion before the King or Queen realize what has happened. Don't worry, my love, I'm coming.'
