The Awakening: Part 2

"Dana nashi kilonah salifnara. Eshlanhe nirnak bolshem..." On and on the queen uttered these strange words. This made the head physician nervous. He had felt that the Queen's heart was racing as fast as wild stallions and she also had a fever that was so extreme that the physician was sure she would not survive through the night. "Bring more water." The maid left and as the door opened the physician saw the king pacing back and forth in the hall. "He will do no better than her", he thought. As the physician looked at the queen for the last time before leaving to tell the king of her condition he saw a most dazzling sight. The light that had surrounded the queen grew brighter than day. Her eyes, now open, had become white pupil-less orbs. Her complexion took on an angelic hue of which no one has to this day been able to describe. "What is this?" The physician could not believe his eyes. The queen's features began to change as well. Her face, leaner, sharper, and more forbearing, her arms, legs and torso, these became longer, harder, stronger. Her ears became pointed like the elves of long ago and her hair turned white like a dove. Still speaking in the strange language, these transformations came to and end. And then, silence.
