The Kingdom of Wross
The power of the heart-shaped locket
Once upon a time, there was a Cancer who stole a Queen's heart-shaped locket in the darkness of the night. The law of cause and effect would set a path to make all things right. Twas 7 years later when a call was taken place. By a Capricorn once in love with the fate of Cancer at the stake. The new Queen of the kingdom, Scorpio, heeds the call and asks what could this be? For the pain of the death of the Queen has made her heart unwell and a forgotten being. But the devastation of the lost heart necklace stolen was the true tragedy. For the kingdom had lost all of its life force and with it, it’s kind-heart Majesty. It was the gem in the heart-shaped locket that brought this kingdom inner peace. The power of the locket was universally seen.
It was 7 years ago when this Scorpio and the Kingdom of Wross lost their Queen and guards howled into the night for a thief had stolen the Queen’s jewelry. So, when the call was made that the necklace was finally in reach. The Scorpio rose and road the path no yet to be seen. The Capricorn wait and the Scorpio appeared and blessed by the Gods, the necklace was here. The Scorpio asks,” How did this come to be?”
The Capricorn said, “I was in love with a Cancer we both once knew.”
Anger bubbled in the throat of the Scorpio, but as the new Queen, she kept her anger at bay and road back to the Kingdom of Wross hastily. The necklace was carefully placed around the neck of the Scorpio who rules the land ridden of unjust dystopia. The Scorpio appeared at her castle and called a meeting. “We have a traitor in our mix, and he has been at our table eating!”
The mother and sister of the Scorpio barking at the scene, as we all knew the traitor to be a familial companion.
Dinner was planned for the Sunday coming like always as tradition. The Cancer would be there, blood clouding the Scorpio’s vision. But the energy of the locket was already restoring the Kingdom of Wross in all of its glory. When the following Sunday came, the citizens were dancing in the streets. As if the rivers turned to gold and trees could speak! Throughout the week, the elements of the earth swept through the city, cleansing and curing all of its calamity.
The Scorpio Queen, her mother, and her sister waited patiently. As all of their family and companions joined for dinner while the city praised and danced. The heart-shaped locket hung lightly over the Scorpio's diamonds and white silk garment. The Cancer appeared, his eye’s in a daze. We knew what a guilty conscience can do and Scorpio meeting his gaze.
“We all shall raise a glass,” The Scorpio says, “There is much to celebrate!”
“Aye! We have much to celebrate,” The sister smirked, who was more grisly than the Queen, "Have you seen how our Kingdom has awakened!"
The clinging of glasses filled the whole room, the Cancer sweating through silk cover seams. As a voice from the end of the table interrupted, “It must be! Is that the necklace lost on August 19? 7 years ago! How did the come to thee!?”
The Scorpio smiled,” With faith and destiny! We have a guest! Guards! Please allow our lovely guest to join us.” The Scorpio’s eyes darted to Cancer, hardly able to control her anger for the Cancer’s demise. The Capricorn appeared with tears in her eyes. The room sat quietly as the Capricorn speaks, of how she made the call to her Scorpio Queen.
“Dear uncle, a traitor is he.” Pointing at the Cancer, “Please Miss Capricorn, tell the story of how this came to be! For he stole the heart shape necklace of the late Queen on August 19! For you! Isn't that right, Miss Capricorn.” The Scorpio said.
The Uncle gasp, “This can not be!” As he grabbed his son by the shoulders, “Tell me what you have done!”
The Cancer never took his gaze off the Capricorn, “I simply was a young man in love. Father, I wanted her hand! A gift I thought would make me king in the end. So I stole, but I didn't think it would have killed the late Queen.”
“A man who steals for grand wishes will always be cut at the knees!” The Scorpio stood tall,” I am your Queen! Your loyalty has energies that never sat right with me! For 7 years, you lied in the face of your new Queen! And what should be done with a traitor?” She asked the dinner table,“ God has pounded the gavel! He did not show it on the front, but fate works in our favor!”
“A boundary must set from here on out!” The Queen’s mother, Aqua, says, “As much as it hurts my heart, dear brother, you know what the rules are that are written in red.”
The Uncle looks at his son with much defeat,” Stand, my son, you must come to the Queen.”
The Cancer stood on shaky knees, as he knew that fate of his treachery. The rules in red are of cause and effect. For they knew that unconditional love was something to never regret. But the balance must be restored, and the Cancer knew the title of family must be burned. The Kingdom of Wross exiled the Cancer as if he was never born. To the sea, he went as he was transformed into a crab, and all the memories of his royal family haunting him until his final day on earth passed.
