Death of the Princess
During the carefree, almost banality of today’s Tweet Chat, something very weird happened. Did you notice that the French see’er Nostradamus showed up? Anyway, I served wine to him and to Mr. Donnie. Princess Isabella is just chatting with her friend Ysidora. And then Nostradamus just goes off with this cryptic prediction that sure sounds like he’s predicting when the princess will die!
And if he’s not weird enough, Princess Isabella barely even registers it. She just says I know, and then asks Nostradamus if he’s dating Tullia!? WTF!?
So weird!

Hello Aurelia. (I love your name, by the way — she of the dawn!). We have not met before, but it was nice to see you yesterday at the #1850charla.
I was wondering what that gentleman was talking about. I figured he had already had a stoop of wine and was trying to be poetic (all poets are seers, but not all seers are poets).
Although I know what will happen (Isabella will always die), I live suspending disbelief. That is one way I can continue to exist!

Isabella will always die?
No!
I refuse to accept that a reflection seen on the surface of water can seal the fate of a young and charismatic life. What we do matters!
And I refuse to believe that the sword can ever be mightier than the pen! Cowards who don’t like culture have used the sword to erase it. No matter how many stelae you scratch Hatshepsut’s name off of, as long as there remains one voice to speak the truth then she will always be Pharaoh.
In time history rejects the damnatio memoriae.
In time history rejects the strangling hands of the evil husband or misanthropic brother.
Isabella Forever!

Hello Ysidora,
How gracious you are!
It is my job to blend in and be invisible. However I certainly noticed you. You had such a wonderful presence. Your “1850charla” is somewhat like The Salon that The Princess hosts (have you been to it?)
It is no wonder that you became friends.
I think your insight on see’ers is wise. With enough wine even Aurelia becomes a great prophet!
Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
