Era animus beo VI

The bright morning sun rose as the sounds of the chirping birds filled the sky. All looking for a mate to spend time with.. Their bright beautiful colors attract their mate in search of compatibility.. It's what all animals do.. All in search for their soul mates. Born to love till death do them part.. That's the beauty of life.

Slowly opening her eyes blinded by the bright morning sun, luxia stretched her arms out. Relieving herself from the sore arms that were aching a little. Stroking her white hair away from her face she walked towards the window. Letting out a deep sigh as she gazed towards the birds flying in the sky.. The birds were all flying in unison. Creating beautiful forms as they flew from one direction to the other. 'Knock knock' luxia looked back towards the white door where the two soft knocks could be heard. "Lady kreinheard? Are you awake?" a soft young voice sounded from the other door as the mysterious person asked curiously if luxia was awake. Luxia walked towards the door and slowly opened it. Peeking into the small open space between the hall and the door she saw a young girl dressed in a black maiden outfit. Her black long ponytail flowing as the wind passed through the open crack. "Oh good morning cilliya!." luxia said as she opened the door fully to let cilliya in. "I wanted to inform you about today's schedule. Well schedule. It's more of a tour of the palace. So I will be waiting for you when you are ready." celliya said giving luxia a warm welcoming feeling. " thank you.. I won't let you wait for too long." Luxia said excitedly. As she closed the door, Luxia looked over to the mirror next to her and saw that her long white hair strands poked out of every direction she could imagine. "Not again.." Luxia said feeling a little grumpy. Walking towards the bathroom she noticed a dress was laid out for her placed on the porcelain mannequin with a note under it. "Lady kreinheard. As a welcoming gift i have made a dress that i'm certain you will like it though i do know that you just arrived last night and are maybe confused but i'm sure you will like it (C. laitivande)

Luxia looked back up to the dress. Admiring its beautiful black silk. Bordured with silver platings of roses and leaves. Luxia could not help but smile at the impressive craftsmanship. Even the shoulders had complex shoulder plates with roses built into it.. "OH yeah right the tour" Luxia said remembering again what Cilliya said, hurriedly stepping into the bathroom.

"I see you have put on the special dress I gave you as a welcome gift."

Celliya said as she smiled. Her brown eyes glimmering with enthusiastically

As luxia stepped out of her room. Her long black dress flowing softly in the air as the metal plates of roses on the waist reflected the light of the sun through the windows. "I am really honored to wear this impressive dress"

"Oh no don't worry. I will gladly do this anytime. I have loved to make dresses since I was young. " Cilliya replied, bowing down delightfully, smiling in appreciation. "Now shall we?" cilliya said as she put her hands behind her back smiling excitedly. As they walked through the halls of the palace Luxia noticed the abundance of historical paintings on the walls.

All depicting an event that had occurred in the past royal lineages of the royal family. Admiring the impressive scenery of eulithia painted in colored oil, luxia noticed one painting that was different from the other paintings.. It was a dark grim past of eulithia..streets filled with homeless people and destroyed homes. Almost like a war had happened, more than a hundred centuries ago. as Luxia felt an ominous feeling arise as she could not take her eyes off the dark canvas.. "Here is the garden.!" Cilliya said as she pointed her finger out of one of the large stone arched windows.. Walking towards cilliya luxia could not help but feel a bit heavy about the painting..

"If you are wondering why we kept that ominous painting it's because... never mind.. It's not that important." Cilliya said hesitantly. But luxia could see the tears in her eyes develop. "Anyways.. This is the garden of the palace.. On the right we have an oval gazebo that holds an orchestra every few weeks. And on the right we have a small wooden paddock where his majesty likes to drink his wine every now and then." cilliya said laughing awkwardly. As Luxia looked towards the bright green grass of the immense large field she saw a tree in the distance. Behind the white gazebo stood a large oak tree. It was almost as high as the palace itself and it looked like it had lived for more than a hundred years. Underneath the tree near its roots plant life thrived. Flowers of all colors and butterflies dancing amongst the cold breeze of the sun. "Let's go further. There is much more to show." cilliya said while walking away. Her voice echoing through the white walls of the palace hall.. Luxia caught off guard hastily tried to catch up with cilliya. Taking one more glance at the big giant tree before stepping into another room. Walking through the long big hallway filled with occasional paintings, flowers and golden casings of various flower types cilliya and luxia arrived at the dark room that was filled with tables.. Its marble floor echoing the sound of the wooden heels of luxia's dress. In the middle was a huge opening that could fit almost a whole crowd of people. "This is the ballroom. This is where the king holds either his birthday or the annual celebration." Cilliya said as she opened the blinds, as she opened the blinds a bright light pierced through the room revealing a piano in the middle. The black clear coat of paint reflecting the light off its surface. The white keys so clean that you could see your own reflection. "But when he doesn't invite anyone important, one of the other maids usually plays the piano occasionally."

"Cilliya said, feeling proud. Slightly giving a smile as she looked towards the piano. "It looks so giant and so spacious." luxia thought to herself admiring the size of the room itself. "Oh there is one more thing I would like to show you. Then we can proceed to the somewhat normal rooms." cilliya said, walking towards the far end of the ballroom. "This is the grand library of eulithia. It holds all the knowledge that we know so far.." cilliya said as they stood in front of a large door. The big emblem of the same winged creature stood yet again inlaid into the middle of the doors. "Wait but I thought only Cellan had all the books of eulithia.'' Luxia asked. "He does but not all. These are kept under high security. Once these books are all lost all the knowledge we had will be gone into the abyss. So we can not take that risk. Even if the person is related or not." Cilliya said.. "You have to promise me to never enter the grand library without my supervision or the kings." she said again bitterly. "Don't worry, I won't. Luxia said a bit perplexed by the sudden change of emotion that cilliya emitted. "Now let's go and look at the other rooms shall we?" cilliya said as her agitated frowning face to a happy and optimistic sweet loving girl in a split second. A bit confused, Luxia nodded and they proceeded further into the palace. Looking back at the big white door she saw yet again two young faces peeking from the corner. But again before she could say anything the two were gone. As if they were never there. "strange" luxia thought to herself. luxia thought to herself. Walking further luxia got the sudden urge to relieve herself from the pain in her stomach and asked cilliya where the bathroom was. "It's a bit further up, then take a right and next a left. Then you will be there in a split second. I will be waiting in the garden." cilliya said while pointing her finger towards the end of the hall. "Thank you very much!" as her wooden heels clacked on the white tiles of the palace's hall she noticed the two faces again. Peeking right behind the corner at the end of the hall. Almost tripping from the sudden scare she kneeled down and said "hey.. How are you? Don't be scared, I'm no harm to you." her soft sweet voice echoing through the walls as she put her hand up. As Luxia thought they would run away again the two walked out from behind the corner she saw one boy and one girl. Both piercing light blue eyes and golden brown hair wearing a white nightgown. Also inlaid with borders of flowers. It felt as if they were special. Something about them made luxia feel as if they were more than what they appeared to be. "Are you the lady from eatheria?. The boy asked. His sweet young soft voice almost sounded like an angel. "Yes, do you like it?" luxia asked as her smile widened. The children nodded and said "come, we want to show you something." But before she could follow them, Veranos appeared in front of her. Fearing the worst, Luxia noticed that Veranos was holding a wine bottle and was swaying left and right. "Luxie! What a pleasant surprise *hick*" luxie'' was the name veranos would call her when she was young. He always had to drag luxia out of the forest or books because she would always get hypnotized by it. "Sir greand! There you are. I was worried you might have gone and walked off somewhere" the girl said as her blond hair glowed in the bright light of the sun. "oh! Lady kreinheard. I apologize dearly for this unexpected meeting. Last night sir greand and sir redark had quite the time drinking all the wine. Well. not all of it. Just enough to get them a bit off the hook." the girl said as she tried to grab the wine bottle out of Veranos' hand. "Sir please cooperate. I do not want to use force." she said as she awkwardly tried to speak with veranos. "There we go. Now let's get you some sleep shall we?. Oh before I lead sir greand to his room i will formally introduce myself as part of the usual procedure. My name is Zelana cortif. I'm honored to meet you. Zelana said as she bowed in respect towards luxia. "Now let's go shall we?" As Luxia waved them goodbye, Luxia looked back towards the other hall where the kids were standing but was suddenly surprised by the absence of them. Not even a sound of bare feet tapping the clear white tiles. "I guess they ran off?.. Are they even related to the king?. Luxia thought to herself as seemingly no one mentioned their existence or even acknowledged them in the first place.

As luxia pondered yet again she put her hands on her head and said "wherever or whatever they are im sure i can meet them again sometime later. But I have to meet Cilliya in the garden. Hopefully she won't be agitated. Luxia said while walking towards the garden entrance.
