Rivers of tears drench the earth as I can bear the pain no longer. In the middle of the night I leave my quarters without anyone's knowing and vanish for many days. After three weeks of searching a courier find my frozen form in the snow. At first the queen's attendent does not recognize me as I am younger. I am a young boy with long golden hair and silvery-blue eyes. However once she sees the wicked collar that the Serpentos elders placed around my neck she knows it is me. Lifting me out of the snow, the courier rushes me to the palace as fast as she can, stopping for nothing. As she had done years ago she lays me upon the queen's bed. Just then the queen enters the room.
