paradisa | ♔ six || easter resurrection

[Counselors and Friends of Elizabeth I]

For those who have not already been made aware in some manner, you ought be confided in that Elizabeth Tudor is no longer herself. That is, the self that was originally brought to Cair Paradisa. She is a young blossom again, one that blooms despite the storm it has suffered. This makes her no less strong as a Tudor rose ought to be, but if I find that any darken her days during this time with news of her future, the penalty will be grievous.

No matter the heinous misgivings she spews because of that usurper Mary, she is a princess, and will be treated with no less respect than is befitting one. So when she requests for someone to help her dress, she had best not be left wanting.

You have seen?

It is a shame that there has been no priest for the church since my arrival. Will today's vigil be without proper guidance as well? Come now, as many as there are here, I cannot imagine there to be no priest among you.

[It's nice to know he's not the only one who would immediately get his reference.]

Sorry. Kind of a morbid topic.

Death is only the end of a pilgrimage, and those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their lord and savior will have nothing to fear from what comes after.

[ But she already suspects he's turned his back on God, if they even know of His glory where Mars is, so that news is probably not comforting. It's much too easy for her to add on, ]

For any man who treats death as a shadow, it will do naught but follow him. If he were to treat it as a friend, then it would walk at his side willingly.

[... That's odd. If it weren't for the part about Jesus, she would have sounded just like old man Bull. Close enough to make him wonder suddenly if he isn't dreaming this right now.]

What about someone who lost sight of it.

Then their eyes are not all the way open. And perhaps they are stuck in a dream as much as we.

[ She wasn't so drunk as to not remember most of what they discussed, especially in that vein. It's always on her mind. ]

[Her response definitely supports the theory.]

That must be a popular opinion.

Not at all. Everywhere I turn, I am told of how it can be no dream. But that is to be expected.

It'd be a strange way of disagreeing with yourself.

Is not inner conflict as tedious as it is horrifying?

It isn't the best sign.
