Talysa wakes up in what appears to be a forest. She felt odd, everything felt weird yet oddly familiar. The world seemed unnaturally bright causing her vision to become blurry. In a matter of seconds she was back to a world of darkness.
Light floods through Talysa's eyelids as she breaks through the wall of Darkness for a second time. Instead of seeing the forest from before, her vision clears to reveal a small room with walls laced with vines and small orange and red flowers, each one standing out like an exploding star. The room seems rather empty besides the soft bed Talysa is sitting on. The sheets are made of thin white silk and feature patterns of leaves and flowers, embroidered onto the delicate fabric with gold thread. A wooden door Stood on Talysa's left and the ceiling appeared to be dotted with fireflies. A loud knock comes from the door and she watches as it is pushed open. She stares in complete disbelief as the seelie queen walks over to stand beside the bed, her dress floating across the floor gently. Her dark red hair flows down her shoulders like a wave as she began to speak.
"Talysa, welcome to the seelie court." Talysa sat there looking stunned, as the queen continues.
"We found you in our forest. You had a large wound on your chest, does it hurt?" She says gently.
"No..." Talysa answers cautiously. The Queen holds out her hand and smiles at Talysa.
"Come with me." Talysa stares at The queens outstretched hand for a few seconds before taking it and climbing off the bed.
Talysa allows the seelie queen to lead her through the unfamiliar corridors. The clicking of Talysa's tan ankle boots on stone floor slowly disappear as they enter an area full of lush green grass. The slight dampness of the grass make each small blade shimmer like crystal. Talysa looks around and suddenly feels incredibly out of place. Her cream, rainbow stripped jumper and simple light Blue Jeans could never compare to the elegant dresses and seliee armour worn by those around her. She looks out at all the faces as the seelie queen begins to address her court.
"This is Talysa. She is the mundane who has been chosen." Talysa feels a million questions race through her mind as she tries to keep her face emotionless.
"If she agrees, our plan will finally be set into motion!" The queen finishes with a bright smile. Talysa looks up at the seelie queen.
"Agree to what?" She whispers.
"Ask the right questions and that answer to that will change." She answers walking over and sitting on her throne. Talysa follows and stands next to her, as a young looking boy emerges from the thinning crowd.
"Talysa, this is Linden." The Queen says gesturing to the boy. Talysa looks at him and immediately notices his bright green eyes. They're colour is almost identical to the glimmering grass they currently stand on. He has brown hair and the way its cut reminds her of Harry Potter. He's got a smallish nose and slightly big ears, pointed like most seelie.
"He will be your personal Seelie knight." The queen says suddenly.
"If you want to go somewhere, he is required to go with you." The previous crowd had now almost completely disappeared, leaving only a few people lingering.
"Why do I need a personal seelie knight? Why are you being so nice to me?" Talysa asks realising how odd the queens kindness is. The queen sighs and turns in her seat to face Talysa. Talysa sees Linden out of the corner of her eye. He gives her a warm smile and for some reason Talysa feels herself relax. Something about him makes her feel safe, but she couldn't figure out what it was. The seelie queen takes Talysa's hand and looks her dead in the eye, reviving the anxiety Talysa had buried just moments before. Talysa tries to return the queens stare without allowing her face show the fear she was truly feeling.
"I would like... " The Queen starts.
"To invite you to become a seliee, a member of the court." The questions running in Talysa's mind come to a sudden hault as she stares at the queen.
"Or more specifically," The queen continues.
"The princess of it."
