Elements

The Element Ball

The fairies begin to help me, although I was able to do put on the dress myself. But still, the dress was gorgeous. I needed to be delicate with it. As they begin to fix my hair, I realize that the details were so detailed. I couldn't stop admiring them.

I was done with my hair and putting on the dress. And now it was time to reveal it to them.

"Okay, I'm ready." I walk out peeping behind the cover board as I smile.

I look at Icarus first. "Wow... Y-You look so stunning." He says. I smiled, "Thank You."

Then I look over at Moses. He was amazed to see me in a dress! "Never thought you'd actually wear one." He says.

Well, it's your turn to get in yours!" He rolls his eyes. "It's a suit you mean." He goes behind the board as we wait there in a awkward silence.

In my mind, I prayed for Moses to hurry up. It felt so awkward not to say anything to Icarus. Especially after hearing what the fairy told me.

I shift my eyes without turning my head. He was looking outside the window facing the street. "The carriage isn't here yet?" He sighs with a worried face.

I sigh. "So, how long have you known the prince." I ask him "My whole life." He laughs, "My grandparents always made their clothes. And everyday we became closer and closer. Until those days of their lives were ending."

"Oh... I'm sorry." I say. "Ah it's alright, they loved what they did, but they were fed up with life already. Luckily, I already knew how to make a dress during the time." He smiles and starts to come closer. He reaches for something on my dress. "This strand was bothering me."

He grabs some scissors on a nearby table. "There." He blushes and looks into my eyes and then mumbles something to himself. "I think I hear the carriage." I finally say, and what perfect timing Moses finally comes out.

"Wow! Not too bad yourself!" He turns to look in the mirror. "Don't you think my butt is a little too big?" I check it out. "No. I think you'll get the ladies faster with that." I laugh. "Oh god." He rolls his eyes and thanks Icarus.

I grab for my cloak as Icarus offers to put it around me. "I got it." I say. And so we head outside. There, was the carriage to take us to the ball.

I lift myself into the carriage as Icarus grabs the bottom of the back dress. He probably didn't want me to dirty it.

"Are you ready to go?" Moses asks me. "Yes." I say and Icarus signals the coachman to go.

As we ride down the streets, the lights begin to glow brighter. I look out the window. People were walking down to the Moonlight festival Lulu was talking about. The full moon was rising, reflecting the water turning it into a glow effect.

"Whoa! I wish we could of been here tonight." I say as I look out the window. People were looking as the carriage goes by the towns square.

"We could of, but you were so greedy that you wanted to go to the ball." Moses says. "Hey it was a fair win when we were fighting that monster!"

"Actually the ball isn't that bad. You get to meet lots of new different people every year. And the kings and queens will be there. So there's a high chance you two will get to meet them, since your prince Gabriel's guests of honor." I look at the invitation. He was right. I totally forgot that we were guest of honor.

I prayed to the gods that we weren't going to be introduced in a fancy way. "How funny would it be if they introduced us in front of the entire ball!" Moses laughs. I shot back a cold stare. "No that wouldn't be funny!"
