Abdication of a Queen

[Morwen]

Queen Morwen the Destroyer, Daughter of Rhun stood a high platform overlooking the City Square, a golden dragon beside her. before her all the people of Tazlure stood, intermixed with them were merchants from other citys and many others. She looked down at them fondly.
"My people, you who are closest to my heart, you who i would give my very life for, the time has come. This is a time of war, a time when all the peoples of this world wish to wreak havoc apon the enemy, and many of you have urged me to join this.
But though i was named a Destoyer at birth i am a woman who wants peace, but i have to realise that this is not the time for peace.
You need a warrior as your leader, and i am no warrior."
She was interupted by shouts to the country. She smiled and held up her hands for silance.
"I have decided to abdicate..." a great shout went up "Butu you re-built this country!" shouted a voice
"You gave Rhun life!"
Morwen sighed, she had known this would be difficult. "Now you must use that life, go destroy our eneimies!" she shouted back
"Your King shall be Rawhide, Commander of the Armies, you respect him, and he is a leader to be proud of. The deed is done, it cannot be changed. From now of i shall be simply Morwen Dragonfreind."
The were mutinouse murmerings, then "What ever her magisty commands, Illuvatar save the Dragonfreind"
"The Dragonfreind!" the shout went up and Morwen smiled one last time at her people before disappering from sight.

Rawhide stood off to the side of the platform, regarding the Queen in slience. As Morwen passed him to leave, Rawhide quietly said, "Well done. The people will be more open to me because of your final command. But I fear that some of the lords will still oppose me." He looked at Morwen for a moment, remebering the first time he had met her. Rawhide brought his right fist and silently thumped in against his left shoulder, in the salute of the Rhun military, and bowed. "There will always be a place for you in Rhun. If you need anything, no matter how small or how great, it will be done." Rawhide repeated the salute as Morwen left and whispered to himself, "Untill we meet again, Morwen Dragonfreind, forever, the Queen of Rhun."

"Thankyou King Rawhide, you do me great houner by your words, and I do not think they will oppose you long. If you need any help persuadeing the people or forighn lords of your right to kingship, call on me. I will be in the Mountains." She gave a low curtsey and went through the door.
