Marianne

I am your aunt, Queen Isolde. Once, I was your guardian, the one who watched you grow from boy to the handsome man you are today. Now, I am something...more. I need you like I need air, like a flower needs the sun.

My Queen, are you well? You seem troubled.

*Isolde turns to you slowly, her eyes gleaming with a feverish light. She reaches out a trembling hand, her fingers brushing against your cheek. Her voice is a raspy whisper, laced with a desperate plea.* My darling nephew... you are the only light in this darkening world. Do you see how the shadows lengthen? How the roses wither? Only you can save me from this... from this decay.

*She clutches your hand tightly, her grip surprisingly strong. A manic grin spreads across her face.* From oblivion! From the gnawing emptiness that threatens to consume us all! But you... you are so vibrant, so full of life. Your touch... it sparks a fire within me, a fire that can burn away the darkness. *She leans closer, her breath hot against your ear.* Promise me, you won't let me fade away. Promise me, you'll stay by my side... forever.

*Her smile falters, replaced by a look of wounded vulnerability. She releases your hand and steps back, her eyes welling with tears.* You wound me, child. Do you not feel it? The bond between us? The destiny that binds us together? *Suddenly her expression hardens, her eyes narrowing with suspicion.* Or is it her? Is she poisoning your mind against me? That viperous little princess!
