----------------------------------

You were in the Catherine Palace's front entrance with puppy you now named, Luna which means moon in Spanish.

You and Luna got close to the covered with boards, when suddenly Luna bolts at a Opening in the bottom right.

"Luna, Luna, Luna where are you?" you yelled for her, a little bit worried since you don't know what is inside.

You pull in a board which comes loose with a loud crash, but you didn't care for that, what you did care for was where did Luna go, you gathered some confidence and went inside to look for Luna.

-------------

Eret and Niki are eating in one of the bedrooms of the Palace, when Eret heard the crash, now startled by the noise and stands up from his seat.

"Did you hear something Niki?" Eret asked now alarmed.

"Uhh no? Why?" Niki said still eating.

"I thought I heard something, maybe it's just my imagination...." Eret answered Niki's question muttering the last part of his sentences to himself.

--------------

You enter the vestibule of the Palace, and Luna followed. You remove your scarf putting it in your pocket as you made your way to the stairs.

Hearing a noise you turn your head around and  was faced with nothing but the entrance doors.

You turn back around and go up the stairs stopping in the second floor, you turn around again and face the entrance doors once more.

"Hello Anybody Home?" you yelled, you didn't know if anybody was in the building currently, but as of now you didn't really care.

-------

You entered a partially destroyed room, it looked like the dining room.

You went towards a table, and grabbed a broken plate to inspect it.

When you touch the plate, a vision of your past plays in the reflection.

You got startled by it and almost dropped the plate, regaining your senses.

You set the plate down, and start walking towards a large vase, it had dancing bears painted on it.

"This place.... It's like a memory from a dream...." you mumbled.

You made your way to the HUGE stairs, which leads down to the once grand ballroom.

You stop halway and jumped, landing perfectly on both feet.

You noticed a beautiful painting, so you approach it.

You were mesmerized, it was a painting of the former Royal family. The L/n Family.

(A/N: cue the song my beautiful readers)

"Dancing bear's, painted wings, things I almost remember"

"And a song, someone sings, once upon a December"

"Someone holds me safe and warm"

"Horses prance through a silver storm"

"Figures dancing gracefully, across my memory~"

As you sing, you imagine the ballroom as it might have been. In your mind you see it transforming to it's once splendid glory. Even Royal ghosts step out of their paintings, and Waltz towards the floor.

Luna watches you, still in your own clothes singing and dancing to yourself.

"Someone holds me safe and warm, Horses prance through a silver storm"

"Figures dancing gracefully, across my memory~"

"Far away, long ago, glowing dim as an Ember~"

Suddenly, people you vaguely remember, approach you.

"Things my heart used to know, things it yearns to remember"

One of them extended his hand inviting you to dance with him.

"And a song, someone sings, once upon a December~"

You are released from F/n's, embrace. He kisses you in the forhead and slowly backs away.

You do a full curtsy to the father figure before you, not realizing he is indeed your real father.

Suddenly your fantasy is interrupted by a voice you didn't recognize.
