The rays of the setting sun fell on the lone big diamond on the crown and splattered across the room . There were numerous other stones but they seem to step backward and meekly pay obeisance to its glory.
The crown fit on her head perfectly. She stood erect with her held held high and her cheekbones shouted authority. She looked around and could see everyone - ministers,guards, soldiers,courtiers , people, children and the entire kingdom bowing in front of her. It filled her with a weird sense...one of absolute power ...Ruthless, dangerous and overpowering . She wanted to simply charge ahead, crushing anything that dared to stand against her under her feet.
"This thing s jinxed" thought the museum curator as she carefully put back the crown in its place.

Nice one. Liked the twist ! Power really is addictive isn't it. Reminded me of the Ring in the LOTR.
