Princess?Was this some sort of little girls fantasy?I stood there with a sarcastic expression as hers became more tiresome."Well then,let's get on with it.I'll send Eltia up to help get you dressed while I go down to fix some breakfast" she said and went out the door.I was still so surprised with the situation that I forgot to ask whether or not I had just smoked all my mothers weed.
I walked to the other side of the room to the door and stopped when I got to the mirror.I looked again at my reflection.I looked almost exactly like the girl from the tapestries.I had always worn black lipstick with dark eye-liner but I was wearing neither.When I was 13 I dyed my hair black with a purple streak but it was gone now.My bright red hair now hung across my shoulders.
My clothing had also changed too.My attire that once consisted of black leather combat boots,a black Fall Out Boy T-shirt and dark denim jeans was now a long white night gown with white rufflettes and and I was barefoot.I was the very image of the girl on the tapestries.
I heard a knock on the door and a voice said "Can I com in?".I was about to ask who is it when the owner of the voice came in irrespective.I could tell by the voice it was a girl,she looked to be no more than 20.She had black hair tied in a bun and was dark of complexion and was wearing a brown dress with white rufflettes,brown leather gloves and a weird sort of bonnet with a large peacock feather in it.
She came over to me and said "Morning Suzanne,any special requests for your fashion today?"."I'm sorry,what?" was my reply.The woman said "Well I was just asking for your opinion but if you're going to be like that..."."Please just tell me where I am?" I blurted out.She stared at m for a moment and then replied "Well,you're in your room.You know,the place you went to sleep last night".The last part she said sarcastically which I hated because I'm supposed to be the one using sarcasm.
"Yes but where am I?" I elaborated."I suppose I could say you're in the palace to be blunt but if you're talking vague I would say you're in Etherio" was her answer."And where is this Etherio place exactly?" I asked,the answer to which was "In reality" from this woman.
Reality.That was a strong word to be using right now."Okay,and who are you" I asked,probably sounding like an idiot right now.
"Just to humor you,I am your long trusted fashion adviser,Eltia".I thought about what other questions to ask her but they were all swarming in my head and I couldn't discern them."Princess,maybe you should rest a bit longer while I pick out your outfit.Just lie down".I couldn't comprehend what was happening right now.I was here,I was here.I decided to just go along with it until it all made sense.
"For today,I was thinking a nice aqua summer dress with your hair in a-"."Wait" I cut her off.If I was going to stay here,I might as well dress like me."Eltia, could you tailor me something more....unique?
"Sure,if that is your will.What did you have in mind?" she beckoned trembling.
"What do you have in black?" I said with a devilish grin.
