The Kiss

The kiss caught the queen off guard and for a fleeting moment she was lost in a world, a world which she had only known when she was with her love. She lost herself in that kiss, that one gentle kiss that said so much. Then he pulled away, her breathing still labored, and gazed into her eyes. She saw then that the stranger was her love. She screamed for joy.
The king leaned over to his personal aid and wispered a command. The aid went to the carrage, brought back the chest, and opened it revealing the treasures inside. The king took out the diomond and presented it to his love. The beauty of the gem stunned the queen and she reached out to touch it. As her fingers brushed across the serface a light flashed and then darkness.

To continue the story....

The men that were still at the camp were baffled about the transformation of the king and they asked many questions. So the king told them everything that had happened. After this the king brought his belongings together and left for the his home.

When he arived at his palace the queen came to greet him, but when she saw him she was worried for she did not see her love and and did not recognize the stranger that exited the coach. She began to wonder if a terrible thing had happened to her love and this king from a faraway land had come to take the kingdom from them. She raced to the king and asked where her love was for she was worried. Then the strange king did something she did not expect. The king bent forward and took the queen in his arms and kissed her ever so gently.
