This is the 15th section of my novel. If you haven’t read the first 14, you might want to start here.

Minus walked up a hill. He could feel the cobbled stones under his large, buckled boots. The city was dark and dreary today. A fast rain falling down.
He felt a strong determination in his purpose. He had been charged with delivering a letter of loyalty from his lord, to the Queen. The Queen had few loyal Governors these days. This letter would hopefully spark other pledges of honor from the Dukes and Governors of the land.
He came to the palace door. The roof hung over a small entry way. He took a time out to ring the water out of his clothes and hair, and to check that the package had not gotten wet.
A steward approached him and inquired about his purpose. He explained who he was and what he delivered. The steward rushed off, and two guards came to Minus in a few short minutes, the steward behind them.
“The Queen will see you now,” said the steward.
The guards escorted Minus into the throne room. He looked upon the Queen and saw a shimmering silver light around her.
He woke up.
