I was back in the same messy exotic fantasy-like room, and the lady was back at the window seat looking outside. I walked up to her and got up onto the window seat. 'Still ever so dark in this room,' I thought as I looked at the shadowed lady. 'and still can't make out her appearance.' I looked out the window, and instead of rain, the outside was a snowy pathway with high and thick trunked trees on either side of the path covered in snow. Above that were rows of hung lanterns that glowed with different colors. The snow was gently coming down like flurries, and overall the scene outside was a bit dark. I don't mean the darkness type of dark. It just seems like a place that is very isolated from any civilization.

The lady opened the window all the way, and I could feel the cold winter air coming in, with the drops of snow landing right outside the window. 'This actually feels quite nice. It's cold but just enough to where it's bearable. I let out a breath of hot air, and the steam went with the air. I curled up and laid my head on my legs as I watched the snowfall. As this peaceful moment continued, I noticed the wind picking up and fog rolling in, turning the distant scenery white. 'Well, that's creepy.' I strained my ears and heard some sort of ringing that faintly echoed through the outside. The ringing became louder as the fog rolled closer to us.

I looked over at the lady, and she was also looking out the window but made no move. I looked back out the window, and the ringing had grown completely clear. The echoed sound of bells. Light but faint, clear but distant. It wasn't anything comforting, but I couldn't find any sense of danger. It just made me feel very uneasy. I furrowed my brows as the fog rolled in very close, almost reaching us. I subconsciously moved back a little from the window. The sound of bells seemed to echo within my ears like it was taunting me. Then, just when I thought the fog would reach us, the windows shut with a loud bang, and I opened my eyes with a flinch. I looked around and found Hilana sleeping against the headboard. 'My poor nanny must've been with me all night.' I slowly and quietly got up from my bed and went up to the chair against the window. I pulled aside the curtains slightly and found the sun beginning to rise. It was a pretty sunrise with the clear sky dying the whole place's very light orange-yellow hue. 'I wonder why I keep getting those dreams and who is that lady? I doubt it's anything important. I mean I'm special enough as it is. I don't need to be even more special.' I went back to bed and hugged my nanny's waist as I went back to sleep.

I woke up again to find Hilana missing. I sat up looking around the bright room. 'I feel lonely for some odd reason. It feels like home.' I hate the feeling of home, if you can even call it that. I looked at my big bedroom and felt a sudden drop in temperature. It's so quiet and spacious, just like home. 'I wish junior was here. He would always find a way to make everything feel warm and exciting. Oh, junior you truly haunt me in my second life.' I let out a sigh as I sat in my bed, listening to the silence. Well, not really, but you get what I mean.

I looked up as the door moved, and Avia came in all bundled up in winter clothing lined with fur. "Morning princess!" Avia said happily. 'I can always count on her to be the sunshine.' I smiled back at Avia. "Let's get you all dressed and pretty!" So Avia dressed me all up, and the clothes looked super cute.

We headed out of my room, and the snow had really picked up. Dynal and Cxeva also followed right behind the two of us. Hilana met us further up the corridor. "Good morning princess." Hilana said, smiling at me. "You look absolutely adorable today." Hilana said, taking me out of Avia's arms. "Hilana!" I shouted out her name. "Shall we go." Hilana said, and we proceeded to somewhere.

We went to what seemed like an audience or throne room. The back of the room had a fancy chair decorated in silver and light gold. The floor was a marbled silver, and the chairs were made out of dark wood with cushioning. I looked up to see a glass ceiling. However, its design makes it look like a picture of a flower, it was pretty cool. The wall of lamps or lights? They were placed on the columns that rested between the room's windows, and the whole place looked amazing. Hilana set me down and put a gold-decorated face mask on me that covered the left side of my face while curving on the bottom. It was a huge mask for a child of my size. " My father walked in already wearing his black decorated mask that covered half of his face. Hilana and the others proceeded to wear theirs. Hilana carried me back in her arms so I wouldn't get tired.
