Description
The sun rose blood red, looming over the lush green mountains. Standing on the castle walls the young prince wiped off his blade and saluted the morning... with his fathers blood. He whistled as he strutted back to his chambers. When he arrived a woman with flame red hair was sitting on the edge of his bed. "Is it done?" she demanded. The prince smiled sardonically, before dropping into a low bow. "Yes mother it is done, he slid of my blade like the useless chunk of meat he was." The woman sniggered and clapped her hands together before walking to her son. She placed her hand on his shoulders and looked into his eyesand declared: "well done!" A cunning smile passsed over her face and she pulled a small blade behind her back. It glinted with malicious intent as did her eyes. Pulling her son to his feet she slowly walked him to the window overlooking the kingdom. Geusturing to the kingdom she said simply "Look at that lovely kingdom!" The prince glanced out the window and a smile flickered on his face.

Slowly she raised the knife, until it was poised straight behind his back. The prince seemed oblivious to her movements, ignorant fool! She thought. The killing strike was in motion when the princes guards rushed in. They surrounded the woman and the captain placed a blade across her throat. In quick sucession they slit it, a gaping red wound appeared and an artery spurted, until she dropped lifeless to the floor. The guards looked at the body of the woman about to murder the prince. Finally the captain spoke:" Did we do well my king?" The prince smiled cruelly. "Yes captain, you executed our plan perfectly." The smile faded and his cold grey turned toward his new kingdom, before he slowly muttered "excuse the pun."
