The Queen of an Empty World

I am a Queen.

I know it, because in quiet moments, I can feel my wings.

I have an inner serenity. But it's sometimes hard to find, because this world wears me down.

There are so many people, and so many wonderful things on this Earth, but I still feel empty sometimes. I feel lonely and anxious. Nothing satisfies me. Not even time with my love... I wish I knew what to do.

Will my life always be this way? Will there always be a heaviness upon me? I hope it's not true...

I want to be a Queen again. I want to go back to my world. But as long as there is a single tiny task, anything to grab my attention, I am stuck here. I keep reaching for things on this plane of existence, grasping them as if my life depended on it, and yet they keep slipping through my fingers. I can never fully be aware in this reality. My origins are far away from here.

Roleplay between Queen Lushia and her Knight Odvocar, immediately following this piece of writing:
Lushia Kyobi: Let's go to Vael.

Odvocar: Okay, Love.

Lushia Kyobi: -holds out my hand towards you, my hair turning blue, my eyes reflecting the glow that appears around us-

Odvocar: -takes your hand in mine, and smiles slightly at you.-

Lushia: -everything fades to white in a flurry of feathers, and we suddenly appear in the ruins of the Angel's Temple-

Lushia: I have to hold on.
-our surroundings glitch a little-
Lushia: This world is stabilized only by my energy. It has to be particularly focused, inspired, and free.
Lushia: -walks across the chipped stone tiles that make up the floor, towards a crumbling throne, my long blue dress rustling behind me.-
Lushia: -the pale blue of the weathered dress, with an ivy-like layer of fabric over top of it, shines dully in the moonlight through the ceiling as I reach the throne, and sit down, my movements being the only sounds in the empty hall-

Odvocar: -Approaches the throne quietly, not wanting to disturb you, and kneels before you.-

Lushia: -You are adorned in a suit of armor fitting to your spirit, the colors of the earth and your aura, with the strength of steel. I look upon you favorably, yet my face is without expression-
Lushia: -Releases my aura and allows it to travel down my arm, towards you slowly, its blue glow illuminating the hall lit by moonlight. My aura reaches you, touching your shoulder gently, and it slowly wraps around you in a loose embrace, glowing brighter in approval-

Odvocar -looks up at you protectively, but ultimately powerless.- I wish I could do more for you, milady.

Lushia: Do you swear to always be by my side?

Odvocar: Always, my Queen.

Lushia: Then you do enough for me. Your loyalty, your service, and your love is all I need from you.
Lushia: I want you to be my protector, and my lover.

Odvocar: Yes, my Queen. Your wish is my command.

Lushia: -holds out my hand, my aura leaving you to beckon you closer-

Odvocar: -approaches you slowly, and takes your hand.-

Lushia: -our surroundings flicker, as if beginning to wake from a dream, and I hold your hand as I pull you close to me, close enough to whisper in your ear-
Lushia: My heart is yours.

Odvocar: And mine is yours...

Lushia: -I place my hands on your shoulders, and kiss your lips gently, as the Temple hall begins to fade away.-
