Serenity (Eric/Beau)

[dusty]

& WE ARE THE KINGS
AND QUEENS OF PROMISE
( we were the victims of ourselves )

Beau rode through her kingdom with now intention of stopping. She needed to think and clear her mind something that the citadel of the eighth kingdom would not allow her to do. There were too many reminders and worries about the place that brought about the one thing she didn't want to think about. Morgana. Just the sound of the woman's name felt like poison upon her ears. Beau had only ever seen the woman face to face once and yet the image was carved into her mind. She dare not ride through any forest at night alone for fear she was lingering in its depths. The one time that Beau had she had terrible visions popping up all around her, all including Morgana and her wicked raven hair. For weeks after Beau had not had a good night rest often waking up screaming before being comforted by her husband.

So instead of riding through the forest Beau rode around even though it was day as the dreams still haunted her at least once a week. It was because of this that Beau could not go to the usual place she fled to when she needed to think as it was indeed concealed in the forest's trees. The pond surrounded by willow trees had been a favourite place of hers whilst growing up with Flora, Fauna and Merryweather. But at last she could not go there to the tranquillity the gentle water would bring her. So Beau made now for the next body of water the come to mind that she could reach without having to penetrate a forest. The sea of the seventh kingdom. If her kingdom had a sea itself she would ride to it, but at last the eighht kingdom was all land and no sea. So she would have to visit he neighbour in order to find peace.

As her horse crossed the border Beau urged it onward more towards the crashing waves upon the rocks where she could feel the ocean spray upon her face. Soon enough Beau came upon the lands’ end where it met the sea and she left out a breath that she had been holding in the whole journey. She rode only the shore line until she reached a place she knew not many would travel by. There was an old lighthouse which not many people ventured pass so she should not be disturbed too much if at all. She stopped and unmounted her horse before standing upon the rocks and looking out across the sea letting the wind whip her long golden hair back out of face as she let herself gather her thoughts and begin to sort them out letting the calming effect of the water sooth her as she did.

Sentries posted at various places in Eric's territory saw Queen Beau, a woman renown for her beauty, galloping on horseback towards the shore. This was a rarity. The only royals who ever visited him were Queen Odette and King Siegfried. News spread quickly to him and he rode to the shore to greet her. It sincerely bothered him to have set up a network of spies like that, but desperate times had to call for desperate measures... and times had never been more desperate, unfortunately. He pulled back on the reigns as he approached the Queen. "Your majesty," he called, always one to be polite. "What brings you so far from your home to mine? Is everything alright with you."

He tried to judge her face as he dismounted from his horse, taking great care to avoid the approaching tides. The magic that allowed him to transform into a merman was activated by contact with sea water. Even an errant drop upon his skin would cause him to instantly transform.
