His Graceful Queen

The teacher

When they all were in their beds, Hannah teached the bigger ones two different classes, today she had chosen basic math for the 7-11 year olds. They struggled with division, however they had become fairly good with subtraction and addition. While she taught them math, the teens would read in the books she brought today. After an hour the time was around 8pm and she tugged the kids to bed. Doing the same as she did for the little ones. She read them a story, tugged them into bed and told them “the world needs you, your smile will brighten the day of a lonely one, your voice will help a lost one and you are worth everything. If you don’t get treated right don’t give up. We all have our purpose in this world and so do you. Always be kind and gentle, and never give up”. She kissed them on their forehead blew out the candles around them and went to the teens.

Today she had decided to teach them about how the outside world functioned. She had borrowed books on politics, the town history, and she had also gotten a lot of newspapers from different stands with free newspapers. “This town, is called the high moon city. It has a special lore. She told them“It is said, that in the beginning of the world, the Moon Goddess choose this city to be the center of peace between different night creatures. Werewolfs, vampires and witches, ruled by a mighty King and his graceful Queen. They would rule it with honesty, and dignity. The King and Queen would be filled with love and power to each other that would spread to the entire world making the peace last forever. However, a human named Alik, didn’t want the creatures of the night to work together afraid that they would destroy the humans, he began hunting down the night creatures, killing them one by one. One day he found the Queen in an alley caring for some poor human children. He called her name, and made her look at him, as he drew his sword and stabbed her heart. With her whispering “don’t be afraid, be gentle and kind” she fell down to the pavement and died. As soon as that happened, the sky went black, and the Loudest most terrifying was heard in the entire city, it was filled with pain, and everyone young and old, human, wolf, witch or vampire, all felt the pain, down their spines. See the king and the queen was mated, she was the king’s half, if she cried, he cried, if she laughed, he did. When Alik killed his Queen, who balanced him out all good, that had ever been in the king’s heart disappeared, and now only evil and anger was left. The King who was enraged began killing everything, wolfs, vampire, humans, witches in the search for the murderer of the queen. He roamed day and night in the streets, and the blood of innocent beings was everywhere. A war burst out between all races and the lore says that the war is still going on today and will never end unless the king finds his Queen” After the story Hannah gave them a minute to think. Then Toby said “how many of the creatures still exists” another one asked “why did the Queen say be gentle and kind when she died? Hannah answered, “I am not sure, but my theory is that she said so, because being gentle and kind, is something our hearts control, and maybe she could see the children she was caring for was afraid or Alik, he killed her because he was scared on the behalf of the humans or maybe she knew what would happen to the King?. It could also be because of all of them”. They all sat and wondered about the story. "Remember, it is only a lore", Hannah said moving on with the lecture "so in this city, we are split in different parts with different leaders…" and she forwarded with how the city structure was, who ruled where, who the king of the land was and so on. When the clock struck 10 pm they all went to bed, and again she walked to each of their beds, kissed them on the forehead and said ”the world needs you, your smile will brighten the day of a lonely one, your voice will help a lost one and you are worth everything. If you don’t get treated right don’t give up. We all have our purpose in this world and so do you. Always be kind and gentle, and never give up”Toby was the last one she whispered into his ear “everything will be okay kiddo it will. She blew out the rest of the candles and went into her own bed.
