As Luxia finished her meal she put down her fork. Wiping away the last bit of drop of the soup. Cilliya, grateful as ever, thanked Luxia for finishing the meal and asked Lanei if she could bring the plates back to the kitchen. Lanei happily nodded as she picked up the plate and carried it above her head "follow me" Luxia said as she waved Cilliya towards her direction.
As they walked towards the bedroom, cilliya following closely behind her, she could see that Luxia was kind of too calm. Before today Cilliys noticed that Luxia was more anxious, a scared child walking through the thorns of red roses. Though even if Cilliya thought really hard about it, she could not point a finger as to why she is like that. "Here," Luxia said. As she stood aside and offered Cilliya to go first. Cilliya nervously agreed and walked in. Cilliya could not help but feel anxious as Luxia's demeanor has changed completely. She seemed dark and ominous as she walked through the dimly lit orange candlelight that was put neatly together on the counters.
As Luxia sat down next to her she let go off her body and her head fell on the shoulder of Cilliya. "Lady kreinheard? Are you feeling well?" Cilliya asked, perplexed by the sudden change of events. Not knowing what to do as she put her hands in the air. But then she lowered her hands and rested on the back of luxia. "The king and veranos are with karlaz. Discussing the next course of action." suddenly Cilliya's eyes widened as she realized Luxia had been standing there the whole time amongst the crowds. It must have been tough for her. As she looked back at Luxia's eyes. Closing slowly she gave a slight smile of relief and tucked her into bed. Blowing the melting wax candles out and walking out of the door. Glancing at the silver half winged accessory she made for luxia. Smiling, she closed the door silently and walked back towards the kitchen. "So? Where did she and the others go?" zelana asked. Dropping the wet towel on the granite counter.
Cilliya sighed. Zelana and lanei both could see that it was more peaceful then they thought. "My thought is that luxia the king and sir greand had been standing amongst the crowd for such a long time that it might have worn out luxia's ability to keep talking to the men." "So what you are saying is" zelana wanted to say before she got cut off with Cilliya replying. "That luxia might have been exhausted beyond comprehension." Cilliya said as she sat down on the wooden old chair. Creaking as she rested her back onto the wooden chair. "So if she was not exhausted she would have still been there right?." Zelana asked. Cilliya nodded and picked up a glass of water before letting out a deep sigh. "It's getting late. I think it's time for us to leave it as is" Cilliya said "your right. It's been a long day" Zelana said as she blew one of the oil lamps off. As they all walked to their respective rooms, waving each other goodbye. Cilliya glanced over to Luxia's room one more time before heading to her room. Taking off her clothes and putting on a white nightgown, she dropped herself on her bed. Letting her body rest fully, and closing her eyes. The soft white cushioned mattress felt like heaven. It was as soft as the fur of a wolf and as whit as snow, Cilliya always enjoyed this time of the day. It reminded her of the past. Once a fairytale full of dreams. Gone in a second. Corrupted by voids of onslaught.
Yet she did not let it intrude her thoughts, no, but she always managed to dream of beautiful things. Flowers, people, birds, her old mentors, and now luxia. Closing her eyes. Awaiting the sweet dreams that may arise she smiled "thank you"
The bright morning sun blinded Luxia yet again as she woke up. Feeling a bit drowsy she sat up and stroked her hand amongst her white hair. Rubbing her eyes clear as she regained her vision, turning from a blurry outline of the window to a clear view of the kingdom she looked around.
"I guess Cilliya put me to bed.. It was such a long day yesterday." Cilliya thought as she stood up and walked over to the mirror. She looked as if she had not slept for quite a while. Her klitted hair made it hard to brush through it. While brushing her hair, freeing herself from the klits, she looked around and noticed that it felt awfully quiet. More than she'd liked. "Oh my! I forgot about elisia!" Luxia suddenly realized that before she had gone with Veranos that she also had liked to take Elisia with her. Yet she had forgotten when the jormungers asked her to hurry up. Running through the halls. Her white long hair flowing freely with the wind she noticed Elisia sitting next to Griar, his horse. Feeling awfully guilty she opened the glass door and waved to Elisia. Elisia waved back. Smiling in the process while brushing his horse. "I'm so sorry i ha-had forgotten to bring you with us." Luxia said, putting her hands in front of her mouth.accidentally tripping over her words
