Bearing Affection

                                    Six
Silence...
Flawless tranquility.
So many people... Expressionless In remorse.
No one moved an inch.. Like they were frozen.. Like time was stopped.
They were all aristocratic women
& men dressed in vintage clothing or substantial materials.

Two large groups of people, sat on both sides of the majestic grand assembly hall up the wooden steps
Designed in such a way that they sit facing each other, where cushion seats were arranged for every person.
I sat in the middle end on a gilded throne.
Am I the Queen?
If, so what am I to do?

The only sound heard now was the creaking of the hall's large doors, letting out the sun's relaxing rays.
Someone's coming... To me?
Is this the person... I'm supposed to welcome?
She's beautiful...radiating with elegance, wearing a silver crown with blue sapphire jewels, an elaborate whitish- grey dress with a blue satin sash.
Dark brown straight hair parted & tied back in bridal patterns.
A transparent veil covering her face, swaying down to her waist.
Her hands in contact kept calmly at the diaphragm.
Walking down the aisle, when she reaches the middle of the hall, she opens her arms wide affectionately.

"Come to me, Grazzel"

It felt so warm.. So sweet. I wanted to run into her arms.
I slowly stand...WHAT?
why am I so small??
so tiny!
Good heavens.
Wait! I'm in royal attire too.
Just as I take a surprising look at myself.
A similar looking girl child from behind the lady's dress came holding on to the gown venting out anger growing her soft blue eyes, starting to pout as she sees me.
Her expressions are a hidden comical event but of fine artistry.
She wore an ivory gown, her hair was shiny brown curls.
Her cheeks pink.
She came up to the lady's sleeve ends.

The lady looks below and assures her to be kind to me.

"Valerie, Grazzel is younger than you are. So, you must forgive her for her playfulness"

The lady strokes the girl's face.

"But-...she has gone too far this time, entering the assembly hall, and SITTING ON FATHER'S THRONE!"

"Now, now. Valerie."

The lady further caresses Valerie so as to calm her. Then, she turns to me...opening her arms again.

"Come to me ,Grazzel"

I run into her arms, she carries me and kisses on my forehead.
Then, she tells Valerie to take me outside and play.
Valerie holds my hand firmly smiling jovially as she runs outside.
Before the doors were closed by the guards, I see the lady's back frame once again and her petite visage strained in melancholy.
I want to be with her so dearly.

As I run...with Valerie.
She leaves my hand running again towards a fountain near the vineyard where I see five children.
"Come to me, Grazzel" Valerie yells.

"Aaaahh...what a good night's sleep"
My...my it's Thursday! Speaking of which.. Today's the GRADUATION CEREMONY!
Well, I gotta get going.
The shower is unusually not very hot today, no matter how much I turn the tap to the red side.
Oh, well.
Since, we'll be getting our graduation outfits later.. I'm dressing causally.
Then, I'll have to come back & change for the party after it finishes.

Woah!... I'm so excited.
I can't stop pouncing everywhere.
By the holy lord, this spectacular gift of adulthood is fashioned to be my dying youth!
