Isabella held the parchment paper in her hands opening and closing it, disbelieving what she had just read; it had been years since she had felt such gripping fear and now the fear was back - in full force! The Queen summoned Rosetta to fetch William to meet her in the main library; it was urgent! The fire was crackling and the room was warm; but a chill had formed around Isabella’s heart - she could no longer hold back her tears. As William rushed into the room; he took one look at Isabella and ran to her side! “Isabella! Lass, what is wrong? What has happened?” he asked as he knelt down beside his Queen. Isabella was too distraught to speak; all she could do was hand him the paper! William’s face fell as he read the news about the King; King Renee had died suddenly - late into the night! William looked in disbelief staring down at the paper, it was real – the seal of the Queen of the Peoplefolk was on the parchment paper! Suddenly William started pacing across the room in front of the large old stone fireplace. Nervously the dogs stirred by the fireplace looking up at him, watching him closely, instinctively sensing something - knowing all is not right with the Mistress and their Master! Stopping - William stretched his long arms out leaning his hands against the rough stones of the fireplace; making sure to keep his back to Isabella, he closed his eyes in an effort to hide his own sorrow! He knew what this meant for Isabella - for now - there was no consoling her, no easing her pain! The longtime friendship of the King of the Peoplefolk and Isabella’s family had been a blessing for them; he was one of their greatest allies! The King had been a great man and a great influence in the lives of the Faeryfolk; this was indeed a day to mourn! William went to Isabella holding her as she cried; the Queen cried for many things that morning - for herself, for Queen Ivy, Prince Davey and for her people! “Isabella, my darling wife, I am so sorry – there are no words, there is no way of reckoning with this news at this moment in time!” said King William as he choked back tears of his own! The first hours of daylight were spent confined within the private chambers of the King and Queen; they were not only mourning a great KING but for a very dear friend whom they loved like one of their own kind! It was spring and normally a time of joy and celebration for the Healing Faeries; a time for planting and sowing the seeds of their trade; remedies for healing! But William knew this would affect all their clan deeply when the news spread and William also knew Isabella had to go to the Queen and her son Prince Davey - right away! William was right; it wasn’t long before his Queen asked the head stableman to prepare her horse Gladiator for travel! Queen Isabella was ‘gone like the wind’ riding her horse across the rugged coastline heading straight towards the Kings castle with no time to spare! Immediately King William sent riders to follow Isabella at a distance - he was already afraid for his Queen; he knew her passion and he knew her determination and most of all - her love for her people! By the time Isabella arrived at the gates her veiled hair had escaped out of its braided twirl, her long massive curls hung half way down her waist and her hooded cloak which was tied at the nape floated in the wind behind her! Eyes glazed like a wild woman she certainly did not look like the Queen that she was; but Isabella did not care! Immediately one of the guards recognized her as she passed through the gates and quickly took care of her horse while another escorted her inside. The servants were a little taken aback by the sight of her apparel but discretely ushered her quietly to the Queens personal chambers without a word! Alone in the privacy of Queen Ivy’s chamber the two women were able to share their true feelings – mourning the King together.
