100 Word Challenge: Decorative

Snow Queen

Decorative. That’s what the fool called me. He thought he was the power behind the throne, the real ruler, the true strength.

As a seemingly helpless child, I used my wits to stay alive while my siblings killed each other grappling for the throne. When they were dead and my uncle sought to banish me — or worse — I gathered a loyal following from hiding.

When the bloodshed had finally ended, I sacrificed much to restore my kingdom. How much, few will ever know.

But this upstart “counselor” calls me decorative and thinks he can control me.

Look who’s decorative now.

I missed last week’s challenge in the madness that was our first week of school. You can find Jimmie’s story and round-up from last week here. I’ll add this week when he has it up. Here is his for this week, along with his usual roundup.
