Rowena's POV
I froze when I heard what Harriette had asked. Why now, I hadn't yet thought of how I'd answer that. What was i supposed to do?? Lie again..or reveal my identity.., reveal that I was the runaway princess of Aelia , the daughter of Queen Elenore, the true and sole heir of Aelia. I fidgeted nervously. What if I'd just pretend I hadn't heard her.
No I couldn't do that..I'd already given her a response of some kind, and now if I just ignored her, it would seem suspicious. I had to make a decision quick. So, I did the first thing I could think of
I was praying this would work.. I shut my eyes tightly pretending to be asleep, and turned around to facing her. I snuggled into my blanket trying my best to look sleepy, and made an effort to sleep talk. I muttered one of the first things that came to my head .
Harriette's POV
I waited for a response but it never came. Was she already asleep? But just seconds ago when I called out to her she hummed in response, she seemed like she was awake. I watched her as she turned around snuggling into her blanket, mumbling something. Something about.. Oloragentem.....?
Hang on, how could she know what Olaragentem were..? She couldn't have seen them before, Oloragentum are native to Azarah. Moreover, they were a legend, a myth, they didn't exist. The legend of the Oloragentem was more of an urban one. Sure, there were books, but they only were found in our town. Never outside of town , considering the legend leaned a bit towards the dark side. I was pretty sure I had heard her wrong. She couldn't know about Oloragentem. I cast away my thoughts and shut my eyes in an effort to fall asleep recollecting the legend.

Although the Symbolism Of Colors plays a major role in the legend , there is also a story, a myth that is equally important.
There once was a woman, Argenis, who lived deep within the woods of Azarah. Her beauty was ethereal and lived up to her name, "Silver haired one." People believed she was a cruel, vile, sorceress with a heart of stone, known to practice dark magic.One day while she was taking a stroll in the woods to replenish her pantry for her potions, she was attacked and killed by a bear. It is said that she had escaped the clutches of death who had come to collect her and take her to Hell. Being one of the only souls to escape death, she transformed into a giant silver bird , the OLORAGENTUM.
Oloragentem are falsely believed to be considered, gentle, calm, and peace-loving due to their angelic presence, when in reality, they are known to drive people insane with their illusions. There is a reason why she was transformed into a silver bird. The traits of the late sorceress Argenis are very much similar to the Symbolism Of the colour silver.
"Though silver has its admirable qualities, it's not as innocent as it would like us to believe. In fact, this smooth-talking shade often has corrupt intentions. This is where the term silver tongue derives from. If you're particularly gullible, silver will capitalize on your trusting disposition. Denounced as a cheater and a liar, the colour silver has a sullied reputation."
In conclusion,: "THE OLORAGENTUM IS FOE NOT FRIEND REGARDLESS OF ITS ANGELIC LOOKS AND FAUX TRAITS. BEWARE OF THE OLARAGENTUM"
