Seraphine Live in Demacia!

Hostile Witness

"Alright, court is back in session after the one thousandth interruption," Tianna announced. She banged her gavel. She's really good at that.

"Since we've been having problems with jurors getting killed, Draven has graciously offered to give us twelve cardboard standups of himself which he just happened to have with him. Thank you for your assistance, Draven, and death to Noxus."

"I'm sooooo excited about our next witnesses, Lux!" I chirped. I couldn't help but be thrilled. Heartsteel was going to be testifying on my behalf. Maybe they'd even sing like K/DA did. I'm sure to be found not guilty. More important, Heartsteel is soooooo hot. The butterflies are dancing in my stomach.

"Luxanna Crownguard, please control the defendant or she will be held in contempt of court!"

Tianna keeps threatening me with that, but so far nothing has happened. I start singing Heartsteel songs.

"Seraphine, sweetie, I love your lightbright singing but maybe we shouldn't anger my aunt," Lux suggested. But my singing is so infectious, Lux couldn't help but sing along. Tianna was pissed. She banged her gavel so hard, some of the cardboard Dravens fell down.

"Let's bring in the next witness before I find everyone in this room in contempt of court!" she said.

"Woo-hoo!" Lux cheered. "The defense brings in Heartsteel!"

The second worst moment of my life was when I was arrested. The worst moment of my life was now, because, instead of my beloved boy band, a creepy crystal scorpion walked in.

"Ick! Ewwwwwwwwwwww!" I screamed.

"That last comment will be  stricken from the record," Tianna said. "Witness, please state your name for the court."

"Skarner, Vanguard of the Brakern."

"Objection!" Lux shouted. "This isn't our witness and 'Vanguard of the Brakern' isn't a real job."

"I'll allow it," Tianna said. "Skarner, are you familiar with the defendant?"

"Yes, although it brings me to tears," Skarner said pointing it's icky scorpion claw at me. "This softskin has stolen the crystal namesakes of my noble people to make her awful annoyingsong."

"Objection!" Lux shouted. "It's true Seraphine has soft skin because she moisturizes every day, but her songs are not annoying at all. She's my favorite singer ever."

"Let me get this straight," Tianna said. "Explain to the court, Miss Seraphine. Have you stolen and tortured the souls of the witnesses' entire race just so you can put on concerts?"

"No, your honor," I said. "The icky scorpions also power my bouncy stage."

"You should see her bouncy stage, Auntie," Lux chimed in. "You'd have to not have a soul to appreciate it."

"This softskin sings only of death and despair," the creepy scorpion said. "I only wish to commune in the deepdark with my people. We can co-exist with the softskins. Our sorrowsong could become a joysong we can sing together."

"You'd have to audition for that," I reminded him.

"The dreamsongs of my people have been shattered and silenced," the silly scorpion said. "We screamed louder than earthshakes while the softskin ripped our very soulselves apart."

"Objection! He's totally bringing the drama!"

"There's a huge difference between drama and genocide," Tianna said.

"Drama is worse, right?"

Then the scorpion started shedding scorpion tears. I was going to do that to get sympathy but he's totally bogarted my defense.

"Permission to approach the bench, Auntie," Lux said.

"It's 'your honor' and go ahead Miss Crownguard." Tianna looked super angry. I don't think this was good.

"Your honor," Lux said. "They're totally rewriting Seraphine's lore. You can't hold this against her."

"They wouldn't have to rewrite her lore if she didn't do anything atrocious that justified the rewrite, now would they?"

Lux was speechless. The scorpion kept crying. Draven was looking at himself in the mirror. Except for the last part, this whole thing was awful.

"I'm going to take a brief recess to consider this character witness," Tianna said. "Then I'll probably come back to issue my decision. It will probably be something involving an electric chair."

"Um, is a electric chair part of the stage show?" I asked. "Kinda like a glittery throne I sit on while singing my new song, Queen Seraphine?"

"I think you should shut up while you're behind," Tianna said.

"Shutting up, your honor."

This is the worst court case ever. Where is Heartsteel? Only they can save me!

Oh no! Things are looking really bad for Seraphine. That Skarner sure is a meanie.

Have hope! Also, pleeeeease like and comment on my story so the Wattpad people can give me a Wattys. I think Shakespearean drama like this deserves a Watty's.

Keep singing and sparkling!
