Dreams of a Luminous star (ongoing)

Chapter 2

Standing in the mirror, I access my outfit one last time before I begin styling my hair.

Usually i'd ask my mom's opinion on my hair and outfit before attending any event but being an Elite meant her and my dad were guests of honor at the festival, along with the visiting Elites from other galaxies, which also meant they'd be there for most of the night.

As i'd finished styling my hair in a low bun with the two strands in the front, I applied some lip gloss and was ready to go.

Just as I was about to send Cel a message in a light ball telling her I was ready, one floated into my room and carrying Cel's voice.

"Hey Adz, i'm all already meet me outside"

With a wave of my hand the ball of light dispersed. I took one last look at at myself before heading out to meet Cel.

"Looking luminous as always" Cel said once I approached her.
"And you as well" I complimented her back.

"Come on let's go, Elion is waiting at the entrance for us. Oh and don't forget we have to say hi to parents before we leave so they'll know we were there"

Much like myself, Cel's parents...well, parent, her dad, is also an Elite. Her mom died a few years after she was born since then it's been just her and her dad.

"Right, we'll catch the opening the celebrations say hi to our parents then head home so I can catch up on my reading."

We landed on Lantos at the entrance of the grand hall and found who I believe to be Elion standing at the entrance.

"Greetings lady Adeline; lady Celeste" he bowed his towards us in respect.

"Greetings Elion" we did the same in acknowledgement
"please to make your acquaintance" I stated

"Please, they are about to begin" he said as he gestured toward the festival signaling us to enter.

We entered to find the festival in full swing. The Elites, both of our race and the visiting race had yet to arrive. Judging by the large set up at the very front of the festival, said individuals should arrive soon.

"So, what do you think of the festival?" I heard Elion asking

"Oh it is as beautiful as always" Cel responded with a small smile looking around.

I noticed Elion's gaze lingering on her a bit as he smiled sweetly.

Hmm....seems nice.

Orion's POV

I stand at the window of my office completely lost in thought.
Just then my door came swinging open and in came my brother Hades.

"I see you're all dressed for the festival" I started

"I see you're not" he said with a smirk on his face.

I turned and went to sit at my desk.

"Who says i'm going?"

"What? You can't NOT go..come on Ri. You've missed the festival for the past, God knows how many, cycles. You have to be there."

"And why is that? They do the same things each year. Serve the same foods, shine the same light-"

"That may be so but you are an Eli-"

"I am not. I only become an Elite when father dies and as of this moment he is still alive. Regardless of his health, he is still alive which means he still an Elite"
