Puca tapped his foot impatiently on the marble tiles of his bases foyer.
Him and Lilith were running late.
She descends the steps.
She is draped in silks, her clavicle revealed. A shimmering silver shawl that seems to ripple like a lake when you drop a pebble in it hugs her shoulders and bunches in her delicate fingers. A diamond pendent falls to her throat. Her earrings and heels match.
Her fall of pale white curls are caught in a crown of silver.
‘Lord Puca’ She curtseys.
‘No need for formalities, Lilith’ He smiles a genuine smile as he offers her his hand. She takes it without question.
He leads her to their chariot, which is painted a grey blue with intricate gold embeddings.
They sit hand in hand within as the ghostly white stallions set off toward Halfmoons palace.
It was time for the grand arrival of the heir of Paralia and the most feared man in all of Purrsia.

Everything was dark.
Catra felt like she was walking through an eternal hallway of night.
She could hear the murmur of panicked yelling of her bodys placement on the patio in reality.
But suddenly, Samira appeared before her.
‘Catra, focus. To awaken your mana you must focus.’
‘What in Freyjas name are you talking about?
‘Imagination is key.’
Samira stepped into the shadows.
Catra frowned.
But then she turned her focus to her mind.
A flickering infant of a flame. It grew stronger and brighter.
It felt like a white hot vortex growing larger and larger by the second.
Her pupils slitted, and then disappeared entirely.
A crimson glow shone from within.
And then, a roaring dragon of a fire burst from her mind, twisting and slashing through the night air.
She was back in reality. Floating twelve inches of the ground.
Amidst her release of power, the crowd which had gathered watched from the sidelines, utterly amazed.
Gold, purple and red shine around her.
'Catra….’ Adora whispers gently from the balcony.
The Enchantress’ ear flopped in her direction.
Catra floated higher and higher, until the power shown wore out, and she collapsed onto the balcony, and into Adoras arms.
‘Hey Adora…’ She whispered softly, voice breaking.
The next second, Bow ad Glimmer kneel at either side.
‘What on Etheria was that?!’ Glimmer exclaimed, ‘According to Aunt Casta, that has only happened to-’
‘-to Empress Cassiopeia D'riluth herself. She was the most powerful Enchantress to ever exist. Her powers were granted to her by Lady Circe herself.’ Catras voice is shaking and unsure.
'That doesn't matter right now. You need to rest. Bow, can you carry her to her room? Me and Adora can get snacks in the kitchen and we can have a sleepover!’ Glimmer suggests.
‘That'll work’ Adora says, but her mind is elsewhere.
All Catra can think about it what this may cause. And what she could accomplish with it.
