Alex look outside the window as rain pattered gently down onto the window. It bubbled down in aggressive spurts and sprays. The newly-crowned man glanced at his wrist and noticed the time. 20:32. Panicking, Alex swept off his chair and stumbled around his cloak and heavy boots. 119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXIy9bgcLW
"Oh, Kings of Stars, give me strength!" he muttered through gritted teeth. It felt like he was wading through a swamp. The pitter-patter of feet made Alex look up. There was Opal. She was dressed in a long, turquoise gown with white frills at the collar. Slim, ebony heels clicked satisfyingly on the wooden floor of the throne room. Opal's pale face and slender features were made up by graceful strokes of henna makeup. Alex remembered why he had loved her all that time ago...and why he still did. 119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8thNaudns

"I would be if this cloak didn't trip me up at my every move." Alex replied whilst almost falling over in an attempt to unhook his cloak from his shoe. Opal just chuckled and swanned over to him, her hands wrapping around his neck. Alex's wife untied the broach around his chest and the long, ridiculous cloak collapsed to the floor with a whoosh. In one slender movement, the woman pinned a shorter, velvet red cloak to Alex and kissed him. 119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsDxqjcpKe

Opal chuckled and grasped her bony fingers around Alex's. She took him out of the room and down to the courtyard where Alex surveyed his castle. There was a long balcony stretching all around the square, cobblestone yard. Hallways and grand doors veered off into the darkness and low torches flickered dimly in the evening light. Below the balcony, more doors and hallways seeped in and neatly cut hedges cornered of the courtyard. A mighty, golden chariot was waiting outside to take them down the to the town, where music and lights and noise could be heard and seen, with a strikingly black horse ready to go. Alex looked towards the sky and remembered his best mate. Zach. He smiled a little as a single tear dropped his cheek. He looked at Opal and her gaze was clouded with sadness as well. Alex touched his crown and then his heart.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2My5jzVaj
