Lost Queen : You see, Athrenna was far beyond Kurogh. When you fought to become the King or Queen, you gave it your all. Every bit of you, you fight. To show the people that you are are giving everything to lead them. This often lead to deaths, but the goal wasn’t meant to kill the other. Rather, it wasn’t meant to. You fought with everything you have to prove your strength, and if the other dies, that was a sign that your will and strength was greater than theirs. If you match them, then you were both meant to lead the people.
Kurogh fought Athrenna over and over, because he wanted to be King not to lead the people like he believed, but to prove his self worth. He let his jealousy of his half brother, Asiirha, corrupt him. It gave him an unquenchable thirst for power and respect. He was a genius, a marveled mind for war strategy and execution, but his selfishness got the better of him long ago.
Athrenna saw right through that, and because of it, she easily beat him every single time. But she did not kill him. Despite his selfishness, she didn’t kill him because that was not the goal of the battle. He was the best Warlord to grace Kurosia, she valued that, but she fought him with all that she had to save our race from his jealous selfishness.
The only reason Kurogh became King was because she died. When she passed… I knew my time had come. Kurogh had a tainted view of what the Kurosian future would be, and I had to do what Athrenna had worked so hard to keep from him. I had to protect my people, bring her ideals back to it’s streets, and finally after a hundred years of training I had to fight Kurogh to become Queen.
