Act 1

The stage was set and the deed was done.

It was the execution of a traitor, well fornicated one.

His majesty the emperor sat on his throne with his beloved empress.Loads of people came to see the execution of the woman who tried to kill the empress.She was none other than his majesty's concubine, well a very unknown one....Elaine Norwester.

Norwesters were the inhabitants of the ice fed areas of the north.They were fair as the beautiful light and had dense and long silver hair with a hint of white as the snow.But the girl who awaits her death on the stage was full of blood covering her hair while people continued to throw stones at her for her misdeed.

She felt nothing,well,nothing at all since she was indeed guilty of numerous offence.She just stared at the sky waiting for her death.

But her life was never like that.

Well she was,one of the daughter of the previous king and the current king was just her brother. The previous king was an unruly one ,always creating ruckus among the nobles and flirting and sleeping around with women was his daily routine.A prodigal son and a cheating husband,he was despised by the empress who was religious in nature.Nonethless it occured as if he was a drunkard addicted to woman.

Well people those days never knew of diseases related to intimacy. He slept around with a Norwester girl and ended up impregnating her.She was cold yet kind from heart.The king was a king so he couldn't abandon his responsibilities for the hapless woman and the child inside her.

But it was just the beginning of a devious plan that resulted to this ending .A sad ending...isn't it??

Well...the prosecutor asked her if she would like to say anything.She was still in a daze.And then asked for her favorite hourglass.

They brought her the half broken hourglass...sand still pouring out of it.

The prosecutor brought her under the guillotine....on his majesty's orders who was sitting with his empress as if he was watching a show. But the empress had a vicious smile on her face.

What a two faced bitch!!

"The traitor and the crime she has committed.....on the hour by now,Elaine Norwester is executed in charge of treason and murdering the royal members,including the king." The prosecutor was to release the guillotine.

The empress smiled a little.She murmured a little...."I succeeded as you challenged,bitch!!"

Elaine could easily notice the smile of victory on the empress's face.She was gritting her teeth.

She only thought by herself...."If I am given a second chance,I will come back to exact revenge.I will turn time to favor me.I will torture until you fall on my knees, empress."

The hourglass fell from her hand and the sand was thrown out.The guillotine fell on her head killing her and a bright light gleamed from the hour glass blinding all spectators.

"I told you, she was a witch.....",people started to murmur within themselves.

And that is when the king had a relieved expression on his face.

The actual story have just began now.....
