Queen of a Little Kingdom; Queen of Infinite Space

No, she will not forget her, the woman who once wore this brooch. She remembers her well – last queen of a fading kingdom of men, on her wedding day, fresh and sweet and ornamented, with the hope of a whole people pinned upon her. She will not forget her – or her sacrifice.

The north has weathered many winters. Its bones and ruins lie shivering in the thin grass, waiting. In a little house on the border, a woman greets the golden sunrise before returning to her work. Mending, making, minding. Dancing among the rushes with the silver river running by.

Awesome! The answer to the brooch gap-filler has been an ongoing headache for me-- many nights have I wondered about this *g* Now, I have an answer!

Terrific.
