The Arcadia Chronicles III: Wood Elf Quest

Peaceful Last Dance

Third person's POV

Janus rolled restlessly on his bed, feeling excited and nervous for the Last Dance tomorrow night Why did Miss Sylvana pick me, of all guys present there?

The beauty contest was held on the Clan. Sylvana was one of the winners and picked Janus as her partner for the Last Dance. He sighed It's almost just like last time.

____________________

Athena got a message from Stein that she should come to the Clan for the Last Dance tomorrow night Yeah, I know, Janus said that to me.

Okay, see you tomorrow, Sis. Take care always. The glow of the bookmark faded, turning it to a mere paper. Athena smiled to herself and continued looking over Ju-an Clan on the roof of the Hall.

Azalea, who is sitting next to her, said It's an interesting event they have going on in there, can we come as well?

Be sure to invite Scarlett as well.

Next morning...

Liliana's POV

We're busy in making the final preparations and touches in the plaza for the Last Dance. Sylvana said as she stood beside me You sure want to decorate the plaza well.

Of course, everyone is looking forward to it. I might as well meet their expectations.

I saw Kiyan, Janus, and Stein bring in one of the long tables on where all the food will be put on later tonight Good job, boys!

Janus grinned as he gave me a thumbs up.

Third person's POV

Evening fell and the streets are brightly lit. The citizens, young and old, gathered to the Clan plaza to enjoy the last day of the Lovers' Festival.

Liliana and her group started to dress up for the night. Kiyan and Janus waited for them in the living room, wearing a formal attire. The two are talking earnestly then Alexander stepped out first, wearing a gray coat with a red ribbon and black pants, his ruffled, semi-standing hair is combed well.

Janus whistled Wow, dressing up to impress Miss Liliana. Alexander reddened a little You can say it that way.

Stein came out next and the three blinked for he still wore his usual long sleeve cloak You should've dressed up, Stein.

Stein replied Those types of clothes aren't really my type and I'll have a hard time pulling my kunai knives from my arm.

Anastasia came out next, her face flushing red. Kiyan and Janus are impressed on her yellow dress and the way her hair is braided I l-look weird, don't I?

Janus replied No, you look cute actually.

Anastasia beamed shyly Thanks.

Wilhelmina came out next and the others awed on her white dress and her hair tied to a twin ponytail, she adjusted her dress My dress sure is a bit tight on the chest.

Janus' nose slightly bled. He tried to joke It doesn't really suit you, Wil'.

Wilhelmina asked in surprise Why? Miss Liliana bought this for me.

Janus said I think a black dress suits more to you then with a matching pointy hat and nose then flies around riding a broomstick and laughing "kekekekeke".

Kiyan and the others struggled not to laugh or smile as they imagined it.

A nerve appeared on Wilhelmina's right temple, pulling up the sleeves at the same time Stop messing with me, you idiot! She approached him menacingly, popping her knuckles. Janus stood from his chair and raised his hands in front of him Easy there, let's use words.
