Would someone please tell me what in the world is happening?

It was a very good question, thought Eowyn. A harsh rain fell, showering them all with confusion as well as bitter cold water. The droplets mingled in with a dark red liquid that ran down the roots of an enormous tree, growing from the wood of the very throne itself. It's knuckled branches twisted like writhing limbs and rested on the floor, in a pool of blood.

Eowyn shivered and locked her fingers through her husband's leaning into him to for protection. For what, she did not know, but she felt that protection was needed from something. The gathered audience waited with held breath to find out what was behind these unearthly occurances.

Her damp clothes stuck to her body like a second skin, so that she felt as if she were standing naked. Her dripping hair fell over her shoulder, feeling like a great snake was wrapped around her neck. She longed to run from the room, away from the unnatural rain into the safety of her own room. She did not want to have to face the dangers that threatened to unveil themselves in answer to the king's question.

The silence seemed to be stretched over eternity, until the sound of someone clearing their throat echoed around the room. Eowyn pressed her hands over her ears, feeling like a small child, too afraid to listen to what would be said.
