The Throne room, as was the norm, was crowded with its usual worshipers of the Spider Queen, the ones that wished to keep themselves sin high stature and well fed. Oh, how Ramona hated these fat slobbering little worms, but, they had their usages as well.
She stood, just now, draped in her formal royal gown of black and red satin with the spider-like grown of black and red jewels about her brow and waited, just inside the corridor that lead to the throne.
She no intentions of hearing any petty disputes just now, she had woken this morning with a sense of relaxation from a particularly good dream. She had been laying in a field of misty grasslands, the warmth of the dew covering her bare arms and face as the sun began to peek out over the Mountains. Every where about her there was the quiet still of the first morning light, though she could hear the birds singing their songs as they began their daily routine of finding seeds and worms that had not yet returned to the ground, doing much the same as she, just lazing about on the warm, wet ground. However, as always, reality poked its head into her dream as she heard the sounds of life returning to her castle and she, with regret, had to let the dream fade away to nothing and begin her day.
Now, as she peered from the shadows of her current lounging position against the smooth, cool surface of the corridor, she could see the many little Kinglets with their fat little wives attached about their arms, walking amongst one another, no doubt talking about how important they were. The males strutting about like pompous Peacocks, their wives like vultures, ready to start whatever gossip might in some, small way, disrupt the reputation of someone in higher rank than they.
“Ok Ramona, lets get this day started.” She whispered to herself and then stood fully and then gracefully entered her throne room, taking her seat on the black throne, letting her right hand run along the smooth oddly, comforting, arm.
At the first sight of their queen, every visitor to the court prostrated himself or herself on the floor before her, and it wasn’t until she was seated, that they would rise and begin their annoying wining about this or that.
She would endure this for quite some time before finally putting an end to it, that much, she knew was expected of her. But for now, she would sit, nod her head and try, with every ounce of what she had, to keep from killing each and every one of these weak, pathetic wanna-bes.
