Hyades
By late evening, her mind could settle to no more comfort than the nettlesome conflicts she would be confronted with the following day. Her councilmen tended to provide little aid in dispersing whatever animosities found their way into the royal court, and the beau monde of Hyrule had always been simply mad with senseless self-indulgence. This disorderly conduct on both ends, Zelda mused, was conducive to the aristocracy's boundless pride--and boundless pride, she found, was the most stubborn of all obstacles to overcome in negotiation.
All worthless, the help her father had left her. The entire kingdom--tragedy-bound!
The queen's rampant thoughts could not be quelled. Slow deterioration had already commenced long before she was born, but was only beginning to administer its fell poison.
"...when the core is spoiled, its fruit is soiled..."
And a soiled kingdom is demise unto its subjects.
Zelda's stomach churned with qualms of disgust, and she retched at the memories of last night's gala.

Gah. The final line of "Hyades" has left me in the grasp of anticipation - just what occurred at last night's gala? what with the kingdom falling in upon itself and everyone bound up their own "senseless self-indulgence".
Reading through "Hyades" felt like reading a Greek play - 'Oedipus Rex' or 'Agamemnon' - particularly at the line, "All worthless, the help her father had left her. The entire kingdom--tragedy-bound!" It reminds me - one might say bizarrely, but I think pretty consistently, ;) - of your art: it's classic, very Attic, =D
I'm so happy you have a blog! And thank you so much for your comment at SP - I checked it a few hours ago and shocked and delighted to see it. See, I'm not used to comments on Blogger: it took a few moments to settle the riotous joy your comment - and then your blog - engendered. My little sister, meanwhile, was suspicious of my grins. xD
Hope you see you around Blogger!
