No expensive jewels

Or masses of gold

Just the bones of our family

And tales never told.

The link is broken

And here comes the flood

Water, at this stage,

is thicker than blood.

Now the people run rampant

Cheeks hollowed, skin pale

As I watch as your crown

Gleams in the hail.

A figure declares in the storm

That they must be the one

To rip the crown of bones away

And seal what’s said and done.

...

Your crown is made of the people’s bones and hunger.

Your victory is composed of their losses and cries.

If you’ve come this far by refusing to look behind you, your mind, then, is dethroned in loss. The condescending smile smeared on your countenance is deserving of condemnation from those who have acted as your slippers, lifting you inches off the ground, only to then carry you ...

„Deine Krone ist aus den Knochen deiner Untertanen und deren Hunger. Das Land wurde verflucht. Der Fluss führt kein Wasser mehr und Regen ist auch schon lange keiner mehr gefallen. Und zusätzlich zu den dadurch entstandenen Ernteausfällen verlangst du horrende Abgaben. Und zusätzlich dass dein Volk hungert, hast du deinen Bruder und Berater weggesperrt, der dich von all dem abhalten würde. Du bist...

“Sky fall” Alcee whispered under her breath. Her kingdom fought them with fire, it was only her instinct to fight back. Except, it was never as explosive as before. She recalled when she was younger. Elementary kids thinking it was amazing that she could change anything by just thinking of it happening. She was put under servanthood in fear of putting the kingdom in danger. So were many others. A...

The door to Shadow’s cell opened with a whoosh as she released him. Shadow Queen waited for the mist to pass before she took a step toward Shadow.

“Too slow,” he glitched until he was standing behind her, the blur of his body flashed past SQ faster than lightning. Shadow grinned ear to ear as he watched SQ pull her blades, her hair falling past her shoulders in soft golden brown curls. “This’ll b...

The King sits idly beside his wife, reading over a bill that had yet to be passed. The bill is written from the concern of the peasants and the sick, stating that because they have no access to the medical supplies they need for the disease going around the slums, workers are dying off and family of said workers are protesting for the goal of more medical supplies to be granted to them.

The King...

“Your crown is made of the people’s bones and hunger. Your cloak dyed red with their blood. Your robe is nourished by their tears. Your scepter bears the names of the people you serve.”

Ameru, Priestess of the Jagged Cliff, pressed the tip of her dagger into my throat. “If there is any fear or doubt in you, if your heart does not wear this mantle in openness and love, it would be better f...

Jacks had to remind himself why he served his queen. Despite her cruel tongue, despite the cold nothing that pooled in her eyes, despite the danger his body screamed while she was around, he knew her for who she truly was.

He watched her as she fought all twelve of her brothers, muddying the throne with blood as they fell like flies. He watched her promise, vow, that she would protect her people ...

“Your crown is made of the people’s bones and hunger.”

“Is it?” the king reaches up, tapping his crown with a mixed look of curiosity and disgust, “I thought it was made of gold.”

“That’s…not what I meant.”

“Well, good. If it had been, I would’ve needed a new crown. I am 𝘯𝘰𝘵 wearing a crown of people’s bones!”

“Um, Mr. King, sir,” says Adam, showing no back bone whatsoever, “Layna just ...
