Family Forté
You are cordially invited
To
The Royally Given's
GRAND MASQUERADE BALL
To celebrate his Majesty
Prince Ander
.....

The Grand Masquerade Ball. The Pre-Coronation festivity where the young king to be will choose his bride who will be the Queen of Armonia. The grand charade that I don't want to be any part of. 

I roll my eyes at the stupid invitation my mother recieved, sorry teleported, from her friend back at Armonia. As if it burned me, I throw it up in the air, and let it fall, "ever so gracefully" onto the floor.

The young prince, although one of the most powerful men in one of the most powerful families to own that world, is one awful, power hungry, loathing, man whore, who in no doubt will have his queen but have his many mistresses or "concubines" as we have been told. Or so I have been told by Kalani, who tells me about all the gossip that goes on there.

By all means, he can have his lovers and wife for whatever he wants, as long as he rules Armonia just as well or better than his father King Elias.

I on the other hand, have better and more important things to do than to go to some royal stupid ball where women degrade themselves to be the better offer of their families for a chance to become Queen, and if not then the closest thing being a concubine. Those who get chosen, have their families well adjusted econmically, and in status of course.

I'd rather stay here on this  dimension. The normal humans world. The place where every human here has no special abilities. Where people can be more free, well more or so than over at our World of Terrathe. Armonia is just the capital Kingdom there, but the Royally Given, rule from there, and so this place is the big deal.

Our family was one of many to be relocated here to protect the normal humans. When I was twelve, I was so upset of being brought here at first. I was used to being with Kalani and other friends back at Armonia, but now seven years later, this is my home. The only place I want to be, especially after I lost... him.

"I'm not going." I huff as I sit down in front of my vanity, watching my reflection of a stupid young woman all glammed up for a night of stupidity. I look out the window next to me, watching the moon slowly move it's way up the night sky.

"Oh, you are going young lady!" My mother comes into the room holding an off the shoulder rose gold ball gown with gold beadings and sequence. It's a beautiful gown, but not worth getting ready to go to the ball of sale.

For their majesties, The Royally Given, they are trying to find the best candidate for the role of the new queen. The prince is there for his queen, and to find easy lays of course, but also a powerful being who can help keep or strengthen more thier powerful status and keep ruling our kingdom. Well, also to keep evil Given and creatures from ever ruling Terrathe and coming over to this world.

Armonia was created after the normal humans lost the war against our ancestor of The Given one hundred years ago. The Given are humans but with special abilities. No one knows how these types of humans came to exist or if they are even human, but they sure do believe to be. I believe we are.

Although, this dimension of Earth humans, didn't think of us as such. Once they had found out about our ancestor abilities, they had tried to kill them off. Our ancestors on the other hand wanted to be at peace with the humans and be considered one of them. At the end we weren't accepted, but our great kings before held the peace years by having the most powerful Givens create a new world. They were like a council of ten Givens, all of which different abilities. It has worked fine, the humans had slowly forgotten about us, at least we think and hope.
