**Read slowly and in time with the music, take a deep breath and let it go.
Begin.
One, two, one two.
I count my steps down the stairs, deep colored wood with the faint traces of scraps and worn use. The dark carpet dulled but the fringes of gold still sparkled under the dim and soft candlelight.
One, two, one, two
I hit the final stair, the wood creaking under my heel and I finally glance up. The entire place lit like a palace, the sounds of excited chatter fill the perfumed air and clink of glasses making the noise sound like music. Soft swishes of long extravagant ball gowns bring my head to turn and see ladies dressed as some like of fae queens. Their eyes smudged with choal and lips painted like bright rubies. Their hair all sorts of beautiful colors, with ordainments you would think were some other realm as they glistened in the light of the chandelier. An announcement came from the other side, and the men stepped up to take the ladies arms. Ethereal in their dark suits and lovely strips of colors. Like some sort of waiting consort to the women. Then the music started and swelled. With shy glances and barely touching they began to dance.
Twisting upward I try to get a better glance. Oh how lovely, the straight backs and longing glances. Their skin washed golden and diamond, as if the candlelight was there to follow very moment to never leave their side.
Oh how I longed to dance and be marked as some ancient creature blessed to be in the dazzling light and shadows.
Hands touch and break away again, the swell of baited breathe until they can touch again. Again and again in the dizzying intoxication of movement and sound.
A/N: This is a small short I wrote for fun, it had gotten stuck in my head so I hope you enjoy!
