Chapter 8

Endymion POV

Night of Gala

I stand next to my father on his left, with my mother at his right; as I wait for my lover to arrive. As the masquerade commences the music is quiet, allowing the guests to socialize. Masks are covering our faces, so no one can tell each other apart, but I know exactly who I'm looking for.

Now, if only if she would arrive.

I close my masked eyes, and wait for her energy wave to enter my mind.

It's like magic, like something I've never felt before. Just like the first time we met.

I feel her energy as she enters the room, but before I could excuse myself; my father introduces me to the King of the eastern lands.

"Son, I would like to introduce to you the King of the eastern land of Elysium. Along with Princess Beryl, of whom you shall be betrothed. If the night goes well of course." Father says, looking at me sternly.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, your highness" the shy girl says as she curtsies. She has long flowing black hair with a golden headdress, and wears a long dress of a deep navy blue, with a light yellow skirt flowing on top, with a chain of stones and crystals at her waist.

She looks so shy, I wonder what for? Maybe it's because she's never met me before?

"Likewise" I reply bowing, taking off my mask. "If I could just excuse myself for one moment?" I ask, turning to my father. He sighs, before nodding. I bow at my father, then at this newly met Princess. "Thank You" I say, placing the mask back over my eyes.

I walk through the groups of people, looking for Serenity. But unfortunately with all these masks, it makes it harder than it seemed it would.

If only she could give me a sign, maybe a signal?

And as if she read my mind again, I hear her soft voice call out my name.

"Endymion!" she whispers loudly. "Or should I call you, 'Your Highness?'" she giggles.

I turn around and there's my gorgeous princess standing before my eyes. I almost had to a double take if it weren't for her beautiful eyes.

"Seren-...Princess? I ask, almost revealing her identity in public.

My Princess is dressed in a deep blue, fitted lace dress with several diamonds covering the bodice and making her glow. He hair, tied up in one large plat running around her beneath her head like a crown, disguising her long hair with a few strands framing her face. Her mask of an intricate design, covered in diamonds that makes her eyes sparkle more than they do. An upside down tiara covers her crescent moon, replacing it with a diamond that shines every colour, like an infinite aurora borealis, where it should be. This is my princess!

I smile, allowing myself to take in her beauty.

"It is with great pleasure to meet you again, Princess" I say playfully, bowing and taking her hand to lay a soft kiss. I look up, and she giggles softly.

"Likewise, your highness" She replies, also playfully as she curtsies.

We look at each other and laugh. In such as sort amount of time, we've grown so close to each other.

"You look so beautiful" I say softly, still taking in her beauty. She blushes and smiles.

"Thank you" she replies. "You look quite handsome yourself" she says, tucking strands behind her ear. I smile and take her hand once again.
