Verse Two: Chapter 9

ISRI HURRIED THROUGH the corridors to her mother’s study. She only had a few minutes to get her mother to agree to her plan before the Chreuthecal ceremony would begin. Luckily for her the candidate had not yet been revealed. This would make it slightly easier to keep her secret. Lye-Ashe could always reject her if she thought something was awry.

“Mother, please excuse me if I talk like the wind, but I need your help.” Isri screamed as she burst through her mother’s study doors.

Aesurnu had no idea what her daughter could be talking about, but she had a feeling it had to do with the handsome prince she met today. She could only guess that she had received a marriage proposal that she truly needed to consider. She was quite taken aback by the words that her daughter spoke next.

“Mother, you need to name me the next Chreuthecal. I cannot explain everything to you just yet, but know it is in the best interest of the people. As future Raelisuir, I need the experience of seeing our patron immortal on an everyday basis. I need to be the one to help her with her duties.”

“My dear child, what has gotten into you of late? First you desire to run away to a far-off land and marry a handsome prince. Your father goes to great lengths to find you suitable mates and you dislike all of them. Then you are gone half the day with this one from your father’s land and now you suddenly come back and want to be the Chreuthecal? What about leaving this boring old town for adventure? Did this prince you met today scare you in some way for you to want to go away for a whole year?”

“No mother, it is hard to explain. Please, just know that I have my reasons and because of who you are and how close you are with Lye-Ashe I cannot tell you beforehand. I have had quite an enlightened day while visiting with Prince Est’it. All I am asking is that you allow me to become the servant to Lye-Ashe this year. Next year we shall be preparing for a wedding.”

Aesurnu stopped in her tracks. She whizzed around and grabbed Isri in a huge hug and began to dance up and down. “Does this mean that you have finally found the person you wish to marry and have already accepted a proposal?” She yelped with great excitement as she clutched her daughter even tighter.

Dizzy with the excitement and the dread of the future, Isri steadied herself in her mother’s arms. “Yes, mother, that is what it means. However, I need to accept my path as a Raelisuir before I can begin a new journey as a queen. This is why you must make me the Chreuthecal this time.”

“Oh, Isri, I had hoped beyond hope that you would want to do this. I knew you would come around. I already had plans to make you the Chreuthecal this year if only you asked.
