"Roxanna! Darling, look at the beautiful dress the seamstress made for you. Fit for the goddess of beauty", a old woman came into the pure white room decorated with white roses and statues of elegant pure white women. A elegant figure sat on a chair in front of her a big mirror as she combed her luscious golden blonde hair that blended into the white perfectly.

The woman stopped combing her hair as she slowly put the brush down.

Her milky hand rose as she gestured for the woman to come closer. Slowly standing up to reveal milky naked soft skin. Her tall form held so much elegance as she started to turn around and face the woman.

Her perky nipples were in full view as the old woman put the dress on her, covering her. When it touched her she felt lightness on her. As if she wasn't wearing anything.

"You may leave it on the bed Gloria", her soft voice spoke as she turns around to clean up her table hearing Gloria's footsteps grow closer. "This generous man sent this gift to you. He says only the best for the Goddess of true beauty", Gloria spoke and Roxanna could only chuckle lightly catching the woman by surprise.

"I am the Goddess of healing Gloria. You know it and this man thinks I will marry him just because I was polite to him during the party. Does he think of me that low?"

"Your grace... Your father ordered you-"

"Ordered me to get married so I won't be a nuisance to others as I am not that useful. Yes, I know, but I want to be more than just a trophy wife. My father is Veles and my mother an elf peasant that died giving birth to me. He told me she loved to help others, to travel. I want that also. I want to find a man worthy of me. That will be there for me and will accept me as his equal. Why can't I get that?"

"Shush, darling", Gloria said as she grabbed her face. Her wrinkled hands soothed Roxanna as they always wipe away her waterfall, "Come here", was all the woman said as she guided them to the terrace.

"Why are we-", she wanted to ask before gasping and coming closer to the edge to take a look. Her home was a castle deep in the woods so no mortal found them. What a shame.

Her eyes were filled with wonder and curiosity as she watched the stars fall from the sky as every animal let out it's song.

"They say when stars fall it means dragons have come to the world again. We do not know for certain about this but I can guarantee you my sweet child. They shall grant your wish if you make a wish in your head"

Should she do it? Perhaps she won't but this is once in a lifetime as dragons have died they sang centuries ago. That the last ala was murdered more then a millennia ago but could this all be true or just blasphemy so people could worship the Molochs? Moloch name everyone knew quite well. Yes. They are the blood of the Ancient One a demonic entity that was born from good and evil.

People always said that Molochs were proud but deadly. The ones known for their kindness and prosperity in kingdoms were executed or betrayed, such tragedy for good people. Why do always the bad people live while the righteous ones die so brutally?

"My lady", she heard Gloria say as she finally let out a sigh clasping her hands together to make a wish, "Let us hope that my dreams will come true Gloria. You should make a wish also", she said turning to look at the old worn woman with a warm smile trying to encourage her.

Gloria only laughed as she spoke up, "My lady... I am too old for this. My husband died, my children are all grown what else would I want?"

Of course... She was like her mother and yet... Roxanna could not bear to watch the woman struggle to keep her happy. When I go from this place, she thought to herself, I will take you Gloria with me for us both to see the wonder of this world. I will make her happy.
