The Rulers

Utter Awe

A month after the quarrel between Welona and Audra, Neve summoned them to her kingdom once again, ordering them to bring  their luggage and their favorite servant.

Audra sat gazing at herself and touching up her makeup in her timber vanity,  earlier she had told Aureole, her favorite servant, to pack the little things she had and now she was sitting on Audra's ottoman, trying to start a conversation, but failing as Audra simply ignored her because she was entranced by her own face. " Miss Audra? Don't we have to go now. . ? " Aureole inquired, positive that Audra would never be late, she wouldn't show herself up.

Audra turned, nodding, " Yes, of course, Aureole. . " Her words seemed to be cold and bitter. Aureole stood, bowing and picking up her own and Audra's suitcases. Audra stood, picking up her small red purse, she smiled at Aureole, " Dearie, go to the carriage and get it ready. " Aureole nodded, rushing as she dragged the heavy weight of her master's bag and her bag along. Audra then turned to a small chest on her vanity, glancing down she removed a key from her neck and slotted it into the lock. She turned the key in the lock, opening the chest - inside the chest was a glass jar - the jar had intricate lace like designs on the sides.

Inside the jar an eye lay, it was well preserved and, of course, it was Welona's. Audra put it in a pocket of her large fur coat, glancing around. She then walked out her room, delicately stepping along her grand crimson and gold carpet, as she got to the stairs she seemed to glide down them and walked to her splendid stained glass door. Audra stepped out the door, her red heels clacking along the dark marble steps down to her carriage - by the door a hand servant stood, who opened the door as soon as Audra came close. The crimson embellished queen smiled at the servant, who bowed back.

Aureole sat by her master in the back of her carriage, her foot tapping slightly against the velour floor. Her master turned, her brows furrowed slightly, which of course made Aureole stop. The maid glanced out her window avoiding eye-contact with her master, the carriage exited the city, bouncing slightly and a large stone wall was in the far horizon, covered by mist - the thought of it made her smile slightly.

Timeskip

A smile covered Welona's face as she stepped along the white marble floor, her servant walking beside her as they both chattered. Her servant had auburn hair and pale green eyes - his uniform was embellished with silver and his turtleneck shirt seemed to be transparent and on his legs he adorned cullottes. " Oh Anil! I'm so excited of what we could be headed for. " Welona smiled, and turned the corner to see Neve and her brother smiling and chuckling to eachother. A squeak of the door behind Welona could be heard, hurried footsteps rang around the halls and Aureole skidded around the corner.

Aureole then stood there looking at the two, utter awe filled her bones as she held her and her masters cases.
