Heavy is the Crown: So Let the Games Begin. Part 1 of 3


Shrouded amongst the shadows, a dim flicker of light shone upon an emerging crown of ebony and bone. The prevailing ambience was one of utter stillness, which served to enhance the commanding presence of the regal crown that protruded in stark contrast against an onyx background. The jet blackness of its ebony surface enveloped the crown, creating the illusion of an infinite, endless night. Sharp bones jutted out at contrasting angles, piercing through the darkness. It’s menacing presence served as a stark reminder to those who beheld it. Exuding a macabre and ethereal energy. A true enigma, its presence casting no reflection, giving no hint of its wearer’s identity. Seemly to exist in a realm beyond earth and sky. Nestled within the darkness of the night, beneath the underbelly at the crossroads betwixt and between. Heavy is the crown Fully immersing the bearer in majesty, releasing an unrefined and unadulterated power. A mere touch of the crown elicits an electrifying sensory experience, reverberating tip to tail. However it’s esoteric power remains an enigma to the most skilled crafters of magic. Leaving them in a state of bewilderment and perplexity, confounded by the mysterious source of its potency. A mystery which still remains unsolved Causing chatters of legendary tales to ripple outwards, tantalising the bold and curious, beckoning them to unravel its morbid secrets.
