Moonflower Pt 1

Prompt:

Moon Empress Cangse Saren has sent a summons to all able bodied warriors to attend the Presentation of her only Child and heir. Leaders great and small arrive at the legendary Baoshen Mountain. Their heirs and best disciples at their heels as they are invited into a grabd banquet hall.

The Moon Empress is veiled in mourning whites and moonlight silver, veiled so none could see her. Her child is veiled much the same. No older than perhaps 10, the child sat on a throne of black and starlight.

They wonder who the child is and what they look lile but none has been so lucky to see the Moon Empress or her child, only the Late Moon Emperor has.

What could come of this banquet they all wonder. Cangse Sanren can only slyly watch them all, anticipating the reations when her precious Wei Ying picks the two men he will bind himself to for the rest of his life. He had made it clear he did not see females in that light.

Snippet:

The Great Hall buzzed as they watched the Empress sitting in glittering silvers and pale blues on mourning white robes not dissimilar to the Lan Sects colors. However the colors blended in the way moon light did, not the glacial sheen of ice. Her veil hung heavy, droplets of moon tears holding it down around her so only her lips could be seen.

"Welcome..." She says and her voice is like a haunting melody in the might, both welcoming and terrifying in its gentleness. "This one has invited you all to watch the presentation of this one's only child and heir. My child will be preforming for us shortly. Rest and be Merry..." She says and claps her hands only omce as servsnts begin carrying our heavy serving trays ladened with foods from each regent, catering to the tastes of each group and regent with smaller platters of the other regrets flkds for them to sample.

She watched everyone begin to eat and drink, chatting softly curious as to what will happen. About halfway through the feast, music began to play and the grand doors opened up as veiled dancers all in pale silvers and white gracefully float in like moonbeams while only a single dancer in black waltzes forward, silver and starlight surrounding them. They had long fans in their hands and got into position.

They moved with grace and elegance the most beautiful of them all was the one in black, a mask carved of Moon Pearl covering tgeir face. And then the one in black began singing. The song was enchanting and haunting, melodic and so tragically beautiful. They were all entranced until the very end, when the dancers had surrounded the one in black, who stood tall and proud. They cheered and clapped as the others bow and hurry off as the Empress waves for the one in black to come forward.

"Come my child... You did beautifully." She praises and they gasp realizing that the Heir was present and preformed their debut talent.

Many among the guests felt awed, others wondered what ties they could establish but among the Lans, a pair of twins fell in love with the mysterious beauty. Their song calling to them and they wished to horde this treasure away, safe and sound from the greed and horrors of the world. A glance at one another, they knew they would do anything to win their Moonflower's heart...
