Princess in a New World


chapter 4
Serinina is given much to consider in her new life and is forced to consider the things she has already did
By Jasmine Monica

Serninina was not happy at all as she laid in her bed that night. She had met the witches of the modern time, and they were more of a joke compared to what she was used to. She met the hekatin and the followers of the Goddess of her time, and those witches held real power. They were fearsome, sadistic, and they the Hekatin weren't a joke in any way. Those witches had totally crushed the innocent boy that he used to be, in front of everyone and were proud of what they had achieved in transforming a boy into a girl and forcing him to live the life of a young girl.

And this was inspired by the Goddess herself. The Goddess that she had pledged to follow and teach about. Now, she was not inclined to do that at all. Serrenina still held a deep seated hatred for the Goddess. She never got over it. In her mind, this goddess prognita was a malicious and dark force that deserved to remain intombed for all time. And that was where prognita was going to remain. Serinina had decided she was going to teach magic, but not of the Goddess. The Goddess deserved her fate for what she did to innocent Serin.

She looked into the darkness of the room that morning, she focused her thoughts and connected with her power and projected her thoughts out toward the Goddess. “You inspired and led the destruction of my entire life so long ago, Danis prognita, you were proud of my destruction and when my sadistic sister was crowned in my place, after transforming me into a girl. You crushed me and destroyed my life. I will never free you from your tomb. You will remain intombed for all time. You deserve your fate.”

She said with the utmost conviction. And Serinina smiled sadistically into the darkness as she felt the wrath of the Goddess and her anger. The entire room rattled violently as the Goddess screamed helplessly into the darkness. Serninna laughed an evil, cruel laugh. “Enjoy your fate, you bitch.”

The house shook even more violently. But Serinina didn't care. She laid back in her bed and wondered about her future and what she wanted. She had school in the morning. Her mind was filled with many thoughts about her ambitions and her course in her life. In her mind, there was only one course that she really wanted.

She said into the darkness of her room, “I will be the greatest queen ever. I will be a queen that this country has never known before. They will love me.”

The darkened room was filled with an uncontrollable and condescending female laughter. The laughter went on and on, and it pissed Serrenina off. She shouted, “Will you shut up, what are you laughing at, Goddess.”

She continued to laugh, uncontrollably. She tried to say, “What you said is so funny, I can't control it. Sorry, but I can't help...” Then she continued to erupt into laughter. Finally, she slowly regained control of herself and looked at Serrenina, she was pissed. Serinina was seething. “Well.”

“Let's look at what you said. You, Serenina, who thought it was a good idea to suddenly inject yourself into modern-day London, today. Said you will be their great queen that they had never known. Um, Hello, Dumbass. Serinina, England has a queen now that they love dearly. I know you don't really know the history of this country now. But they are very accustomed to having beloved and mighty queens. You will really be nothing new if you achieve the crown. They have one now, Elisabeth the third. She has a son that she is preparing to gain the crown after her, unless you are successful in seizing it from him, and destroying his future, much like what happened to you, Serinina. And now let's look at their past queens. From Queen Mary Tutor,”

Sernininas mind was filled with images of her reign and her final beheading at the hands of Elisabeth.

“To Queen Mary of Scotland. And her beheading by the same queen, to Queen Elisabeth.” Sereininas mind was filled with images of Elisabeth and her leading her troops to resist the Spanish armadas landing in 1587.

“To queen Victoria in the 1800s. “And the Goddess filled Serininas mind with images of her reign from her coronation in 1817 as a young teenage girl to her 70-year reign ending in 1900.

“So you think you will be something new, not really Serinina. You will be just another beloved queen. Following the example, your sister set during the prehistory of the country. The queen they never knew. One of the greatest warrior kings ever. That was what was so funny.”

Serinina saw her point, but she was still very offended. “Don't you think I could do it?”

“Sure,” The Goddess agreed. “You are very powerful and have a way with people. With words, you have a skill of gathering and rallying support, you could claim the crown of England. I see that being very achievable for you. And you would be destroying the present royal family and a future king whose future is to be the King of England. I also see you could restore the power of the monarchy.”

Serininas mind was filled with images of her coronation and the destruction of the present royal family. Then images of her rallying the British parliament for bills to restore the power of the monarchy so Serinina can be its sole ruler. And the parliament and the house of lords passing those measures. The public rallying and shouting her name in pride.

“You could achieve it, Sereinina. But there is a reason I didn't support you back during your old life, why your sister had to take the crown. You are very rash, You act without thinking, and you have no idea what you will be setting yourself up for if you follow that path now.”

“You need to think about this. We all saw how exhausting and unhappy you were in your old life when the lords and administrators were trying to prepare you for the role of the King in your life. You hated those boring tedious administrative details that you had to do. Those monotonous administrative tasks exhausted you. You ran to your family telling them about how you hated those details. and you said that girls were so lucky they didn't have to deal with the frustration of those tasks. Your sister was offended and took the challenge. She took the crown and we saw that she exelled at the administrative tasks. She loved them and learned to streamline those tasks to make everyones life better. She was a great leader. Patinea was beloved and respected by her people, while they saw your frustration with those tasks.”

Serinina became enraged and the goddess saw Serininas rage boiling over. She shouted with trembling rage, “I could have done it then, and I can do it now, but no one gave me a chance. And dont you dare praise my evil sadistic sister. She isnt even human. She is a monster that was only pretending to be human. But she is an evil creature that dirived pleasure from my pain.” Then Serinina struck out and lashed at the goddess. She cried out in agony as Serinina raged, “This is why I wont even have you restored, and why I couldnt allow you to be restored in my life. You supported this evil. You caused the total destruction of my life. That was evil, and you are evil.”

The Goddess cried out and then retorted. “Your sister excelled at those tedious tasks that you hated. and we saw she could do it, while you didnt do them. I know you want to think your sister was an evil and cruel King, but she wasn't. She was a very noble and just king, but she saw your nature and your rashness, and we had to do everything to prevent you from ruling. It was harsh to you, but the people needed a just leader. The cruel one was you, Serin.”

Serinina was very angry now and she was about to explode in rage. “My sister was a monster, Goddess. You were all cruel to me. That can never be justified. I would have made a great king. If you ever supported me.”

The Goddess laughed and then she said, “Lets take a long look at everything that you did, Serinina. NO matter how painful it is. You need to as they say today, pull your head out of your ass. We knew you were rash and impulsive and not fit to be King. Your sister was more mature, smarter and stronger and I led her to become the King over you. And what did you do over what you felt was such a horrific injustice? You did everything you could to undermine her rule, and destroy the people. First, you go to Lilith, you give her her power back, and cause her to rise. Then, you curse your own nation and the people to starvation and doom. Just to see your sister's rule fail. No other reason than that.”

The Goddess shrugged and glared at Serinina. “The people suffered greatly for no other reason than you being able to claim your sister failed. Then you start a horrible war and inflict more suffering on your nation only to spite your sister. Then once things are restored and a new family placed on the throne to spare you the suffering in a new life, what did you do Serinina?” The Goddess asked harshly.

Serinina looked down at the floor. “You were still filled with rage. You had a new loving sister, but Patinea went to King Edwin to restore the Goddess, you lead your army against them and slaughter the present royal family. You set Patinea back on the throne only to watch her fail as she tries to restore the Goddess against your warning. You lent your support the purgatorists, the sworn enemy of the people of your kingdom. You did that to restore their dark rule again. You crushed your kingdom's entire army, knowing the priests never had the numbers or the power to restore their rule. But you didn't care Serinina. You just wanted to destroy your sister and that's all. You knew that by doing that, you were causing the final downfall of your kingdom and they would no longer have the forces to resist the coming invasion. You led your people to their destruction and enslavement at the hands of the Saxons. And even now, the image of your palace being burnt and your sister being enslaved by King Cedric in Wessex. Made into his mistress and sex slave to bear children and have them taken from her filled you with sadistic delight, Serinina. I see you smiling at your sister's sadistic and cruel fate. You said your sister was cruel, but Serinina, you were cruel. You became a monster. And you want to think you were worthy and good to become your peoples King after that? Its time that you really face what kind of person you are. And that is vital now if you want to claim the crown today. What will become of its present family, and how will you deal with the people today?” The Goddess asked.

“I know what I did, and I am still not sorry. I was a good kid back then. I didn't deserve the horror that was inflicted on me. I loved my sister so much, it was her that hated me beyond all reason. I meant it when I told her I loved her that night. But her cruelty never ceased. I am not sorry for a thing I did.” Serinina said harshly.

Everyone saw the conviction and determination in Serininas eyes. The Goddess wanted to weep. But she did know that the woman he became was not Serininas doing. That woman was forged by the suffering that was inflicted on her. Serin could have become a great king.

“So let's think about what you will face if you become the Sole leader today. If you thought the administrative details were a nightmare back then, you have no clue.” The Goddess laughed.

“Today, let's look at one of the biggest issues facing the UK today. Around forty, nine percent of the people want to remain in the European Union, while around fifty percent want to leave. How will you deal with that nightmare? It's causing the present leaders such a headache right now that few really know how to solve it. And if you choose to leave, how? Will you simply abruptly abandoned all of the treaties and agreements with its member nations and tell them to go fuck themselves. Or will you affect a more gradual withdrawal from the Union? And what of the people that will oppose it? And what of the Irish rebels. Those same people that your sister faught in her day, when the area was called Ansays Isles and were under the Queen of Ansay and her son runtec. Will you invade and try to force them back into the UK, or accept the inedpenance of Southern Ireland. And what of Iceland, what you called Geunafar back then. The worshipers of the goddess. How will you deal with them. And theres so much more.”

Serinina smiled then. So Ansays were still not incorporated into the UK. They remained independent despite everything. Serinina would have been happy to recognize a family's withdrawal from the Kingdom.

“Do you now see what you will be facing, and that's only the beginning. What about the vast markets you will no longer have access to? What will you do, try to seize it by force? Thats, why I didn't, support you then, you were a very forceful and impulsive person. And liked to solve issues with military force. Think of the nightmarish image I gave you on your final day in your old homeland. Of you firing the ICBMs and starting a world war. That's the future I see if you become the sole leader of the UK today. And you have another concern now, you have a younger brother that has boyish ambitions just like you did at Serin. He won't want to live in the shadow of his overbearing elder sister, just like you didn't want to. Think of what he wants?”

“That was vastly different,” Serinina snarled at the Goddess. “I was only a year younger than Patinea. And she was a full and born as a girl. I was raised to become the King in my father's image, not her. She stole it all from me and turned me into a girl and called me a princess. I would never even consider doing that to Adam. I will fully support his ambitions.”

The Goddess looked hard at Serinina. “I am not so sure of that. And neither are you. If you embark on this course, Serinina. You will need to consider his life. You may end up seeing him as a rival to your claim, much like your sister saw you. He may be able to get support to unseat you, or you may simply fear that he may. You also need to consider why you would want to do this at all. And cause such suffering to the people. The destruction of their government that they know only to fulfill the ambitions that you feel was unjustly stolen from you during your old life. How selfish is that you and Sarinina want to claim you are a just person.

“You may be correct, but I am what you made me, Goddess.” Serinina snarled into the darkness. “You caused it when my family could have helped me. I still loved and clung to them at that time. I was only sixteen. For all of that, you have nothing but yourselves to blame for it all. I only did what I had to in order to reclaim my life and my respect. And I did that. I am proud of what I achieved. And in any way. Whatever I chose for my future, you will never escape your tomb Goddess. You will spend the rest of eternity trapped and entombed in your grave. You will never escape. Now get out of my face.”

Serininas features ignited as the power ran through her body. She lashed out at the Goddess image, and the Goddess cried out in agony and vanished.

the goddess is right about

the goddess is right about one thing Serenina has not evolved beyond being a petulant child throwing a tantrum.

yes thats true

but Serin was sixteen and had just endured the death, and murder of his father which meant he was supposed to be king. His family betrayed and gave up on him. They conspired to destroy him by turning him into a girl and giving his future to his sister. Then they abused and humiliated him
so his growth stopped and hes what his family made him now. a girl full of pain and suffering and wants to lash out

Not so simple anymore

Jamie Lee's picture

Everything Prognita said Serinia didn't want to hear, didn't want to acknowledge. But much of what was said is true. Serin wasn't taught to think before acting, but to act in order to maintain power and keep people under control.

What was left out was Serin's treatment of Patinae before he was transformed into a girl. Not said was how he mistreated his sister as she, in many ways, mistreated him. But her mistreatment was directed only at Serin and no one else. By contrast, Serinia's mistreatment of Patinae affected the entire kingdom and in the end killed the kingdom and it's people.

Serinia should not every become Quees, King, or any other level of royality, because she has let anger become her driving force. Revenge against the goddess for what she did and regain the kingdom that was taken from her. Serinia may be female in body, but she is male in mind and want.

Serinia heard Prognita say things she has no knowledge of or how it all works. Serinia thinks she'll walk right into Buckingham Palace and claim what she feels is rightfully hers. But she has no thought how that will be received by other leaders in the world. Or the people in the UK. And if she uses magic to claim the throne, other leaders will start to believe her a threat to the world. If they think this then they may want nothing to do with her or try and stop her. If they quarantine her then she'll become angry over how she'll being treated. If they try and stop her, a war may break out or if they succeed leave a royal hole in the UK.

Serinia's time to reclaim that which was stolen from her has long since passed, and can't be gained in the modern world. Parliament won't ever give her the Monarque she wants because no one wants a Monarque again. While the modern UK give the queen the respect she's due, Serinia would be hard pressed to find many wanting to live under a Monarque. And if she forces the issue, she may find strong opposition or an empty country to rule after most leave the country.

If Serinia is that powerful, and wants her kingdom back then why not go back to the time when Serin was horrid to Patinae and treat her differently? Why not take what she's now learned and use it to become a different Serin, so Prognita doesn't feel it necessary to transform him?

Because there's nothing for Serinia in the modern world but more hate and anger.

Others have feelings too.
