Drabble Challenge #81 [Alternate]

Prompt: fairy tale

part 1 of the series: King and Queen


Bookended between two guardians, the emissary finds a rare peace on a tumultuous planet.

Along the Carolina coastline, the Queen draws from the power of the Atlantic. Her court lies distant--but when time is space, what is a mere hundred miles to one who has lived over 1500 years?

At an altitude of over 10,000 feet, in the Southern California wilderness, the King's identity remains secret. His safety is paramount; he is the Keeper of the Years, and his wisdom cannot be replaced.

Then again...perhaps one never knows, but only suspects, when they have met a true King.
