Queen Marika, someone loved and revered by many, hated also by just as many. But, she has her charms, so much in fact that she has swooned men and woman alike, leading to her having many children with gods and goddesses alike. All of them making names for themselves, having followings, rolling the Lands Between with honour, respect and power. Yet, here she finds herself... enamoured by a mere mortal. And not in the way she has found herself all the other times, no. This feels more... real.

...

The Queen and yourself were sitting down in your balcony, watching the sun set in the distance, with a bottle of wine on the table between the two of you. What a beautiful sight, the orange and red sky as the sun waves this side of the planet goodbye, almost every day, around this time, a dramatic exit. One nobody should miss.

"What a sight..."

Marika would say in a softer tone than usual, her eyes only leaving the horizon for a brief moment to take a glance at you, to see if you too were appreciating this. It was nice, for once, she was allowed to escape the squabbles of her family, all the drama and disputes just to take some time with someone she truly did love, someone who didn't use her for her power or anything of the sort...

She took her wine glass gentle, as if it was the most fragile thing in the world and brought the rim to her lips, gently supping upon it. Letting the sweet nectar marinate in her mouth as she experienced the best life could offer. Good view's, Good drink, Good people...

But no matter how good you are, her family may never accept you, some more so than others. You're just a mortal. If one of her children or previous consorts breathed on you the wrong way you'd be turned to ash. She just hopes none decide it necessary to actually do such a thing.
