The Queens Sacrifice



Figures.

Sturdy structures casting silhouettes below them.

They stand so tall, endorsed in silver.

So prideful.

Easily taking the bait.

But do they notice?

No.

The Queen ventures forward, the Pawns are merely the outcast, meek Pokemon. They slink back to their original shadows, letting their majesty and the stronger one pass with grace and elegance. Others watch in utter silence, a deep pit of gloom sifting around, before quickly replaced with terror as the knight toils forward, the predator of the game. It makes a curve, until facing directly to the side of the brave Queen.

But she does not fall, nor does she tremble the slightest bit. She stands firm in her ground, despite the fact her crown is slipping. She does not trip despite the knight is taking an implicit move towards her. It is a common defiant gesture among wild Pokemon, adamant for their rights and beliefs. The pieces and creatures are all in distressed tranquility, all in awe at the loyalty presented by their Queen.

The Bishop makes the next move. It is ready to defend its honor against its side, against the darkness. Raising its three towers high, it ascends horizontally. Another common move, a barbaric and perpetual approach from a measly middle aged Pokemon to save the greater one. The Knight narrows his eyes, knowing the Bishop wants to be a martyr and save its courageous Queen indeed. The horse snorts, being the servant, a malicious glint coming at the stubborn Bishop. It shall not happen.

Just one move, as the pawn in front of the ebony King defiantly steps diagonally before anything can stop it. It is such a nave little one, new to the world and the savaging game, the chessboard. The Knight hisses furiously at the hasty move; he will have to be patient for another turn before the Queen would be his. There is such abhorrence lingering around the Black Knight, such loathe seething from it. Their leader of the pack, their symbolThe King is now open.

But the Queen silently prays through her eyes, a swift fleeting look to the rest of her fellow followers. She is the one who shall be the martyr for today. The White Knight has fought valiantly past all the other players with the cunning strength, as he is staring regretfully. It is his chance, just one move, one thought, but the opposite knight is within his reach. He spies the Black predator grinning. It is moments away. It is then the White Knight makes his move, right in front of a measly dark Pawn, an unevolved Pokemon, quivering at his sight.

It is now. The prideful assault will be done so with great satisfaction, as the Black Knight triumphantly glides smoothly up, then facing right. The Queen is there; and he is ready to claim her marked land. Before he strikes, his aura tells her a final farewell message.

You have fought well, your Majesty.

And the Queen falls back into a graceful arch. The arch takes a long time, eternal light binding and cascading down until it is no more. So she has fallen on the feet of the Knight.

He has succeeded of the great ones territory, but has not celebrated his victory over the fallen Queen for long, for his eyes catch the White Knights move further back in the royal ranks, the stronger ones. Surely he could not harm the Darkness tribe leader? His face is a remorse expression mixed with angst, but a flicker of honor flies across his expression, and knocks over the Black King aggressively as his instincts allow them to.

So he knew all along, as the Black Knight transfixes his gaze of horror and defeat. He has reaped his reward for the honorable dame, the forgotten Queen, carved in wood battling amongst the forest.

So purity has won.

The Queen has given.

Her Sacrifice.
