Zacharias Crux And Maricia Feirne Analysis

The Story of Zacharias Crux and Maricia Feirne

In the year of 2154, Zacharias was the heir to the throne of Crux. He resided in the stone cold walls of the city Teopavia, longing for the nights when he could meet the one and only girl he had ever loved: Maricia.
Maricia lived just outside of the castle walls, earning money by selling ceyceallian orbs and boxes of firemouth smokes. She was to do this in secret, but royalty had an eye on everyone: there were no secrets. You cannot hide in Teopavia.
So it did not take long for Zacharias’ parents to find out about his beloved Maricia. They tried their best to keep him inside of the castle and away from her, even when they told him about what Maricia did in the cover of dark nights.
“My dearest
Zacharias quickly lifted her and began to run again, busting through the front doors of the castle and into the throne room where his parents were stationed, worried looks soon turning to fury.
“Zacharias, do you understand what you’ve-”
“There’s no time,” Zacharias howled, cutting off his mother. “One of your stupid guards shot her, and if we keep talking she’ll bleed out!”
Lady Crux’s eyes shone with tears. “I will help no commoner.”
Zacharias snarled. “Then you’re no queen.”
As his mother wept, he lifted Maricia again, and gently carried her towards the medical bay. As they passed several doors, Maricia weakly whispered towards Zacharias.
“Zacharias,” She breathed. “When I die, what will you do?”
“You won’t die,” He whimpered. “Not on my watch.”

As they reached the medical bay, Zacharias yelled for anyone to help him, and sobbed as nurses surrounded him and Maricia, eventually separating them and sending Zacharias to the hall. “Zacharias, please, it will be better for her if you’re not here,” Nurse Maelin argued, and flinched as Zacharias fought
Because listen to me now, and listen close,” He barked, pulling the nurse’s face close to his by her shirt collar. “If she dies, then so God help you I will too.” The nurse paled. “You wouldn’t-” He grinned darkly, and the nurse went paler as the heaviness of it crackled across his face like a fracture in a shattering wall. “Then you don’t know me.” Dropping the nurse like a rock, he marched into the room, his aura spreading over the room like a storm cloud over a small town. “Fix her,” He threatened, cracking his knuckles. “Or the dogs will have a meal.”

As he paced tirelessly around his room, his head continuously filled with the thought that Maricia could die, and it would be all of his fault. As he sat on his windowsill, images of the bloodstained stairs flashed in his head, and the sounds of her cries echoed in his ears. He howled, gritting his teeth against the tears threatening to spill.
