ladylucrezia Her Grace La Duquesa, Lady Lucrezia

I have been following Her Grace LaDuquesa, Lady Lucrezia for years, so, when our CountessLenore Lady Lenore, Vicountess of the Grand Duchy of the Western Highlands of Alba recommended her to be a featured artist, I did not hesitate.

Lady Lucrezia is a seasoned performer at Renaissance faires, and has a court role of La Duquesa Lucrezia.  Not only is she a seasoned performer, but she designs her own garb.

EmpressofHeaven Her Imperial Majesty Victoria, Empress of Heaven

Our lady-andra Lady Andra, Marchioness of the Grand Duchy of the Western Highlands of Alba has recommended EmpressofHeaven, so I proudly present to you a few of Her Majesty's works:








The Queen's LadyI had never expected anyone to mourn my death, which is why when death finally came for me I was so surprised. I hadn't expected such pain and sadness.
I had felt them coming, I knew when I turned around they would be there waiting. I turned to face them.  They had me backed against my locker, cornered like a rat. The oil on their skin glistened, their tunics tied tightly at the waist. Each soldier held a scythe or a sword. They were waiting for Him to come. In a haze of black smoke he appeared. Seth had not changed, his dark skin and dark hair. His eyes were the same dull black. He smiled his menacing smile flicked his wrist, gesturing for them to attack. In my mind I called my sword to me light emanating from my ankh necklace. The soldiers lunged. I fought them twisting and turning deensively as Horus had taught me. But I knew it wasnt enough, I hadn't trained long enough and was not strong enough to fight them all off. They began to breach my defense, cutting me to ribbons

Semele's History Part IThe palace shook so hard Semele fell out of bed. Gingerly she got up to a sitting position. The palace was still shaking, she could hear loud explosions coming from the East side of the palace. Suddenly her chamber doors slammed open. Nene, her governess ran in, disappeared into the next room, and raced back out. She pulled Semele upright and jammed on her coat. "What's happening?", she asked, feeling a sense of foreboding. Something was very wrong.  
    " We have to leave here, the palace is under attack", Nene asnwered breathlessly. Semele envisioned her parents in her mind. There. They were in the front hall, fighting with the other gods and goddesses, against a giant black Thing.  Her parents fought hard, but nothing they did seem to do anything to damage it. It was everywhere, destroying everything. Suddenly it appeared behind her mother and slammed her against a wall. Semele screamed, a blast of white light hit the creature, almost destroy Semele's History Part IIIsis ordered a bath drawn, in her rooms. Hot water was poured into a large pool. The servants poured fragrant oils into the water and rose petals as well with bowls of candles. The atrium ajoined to Semele's room became a fragrant heaven. Isis washed off the blood from Semele's face and handed the coat and nightgown to a servant, to throw it away. Isis washed her herself and watched her as she did. Semele made no movement, she seemed to be staring at nothing, her eyes were blank and seemed far away.
                           "What are you thinking about?", she asked quietly.
                           " Nothing", she mumbled.
