Beautifully

When I was younger I was told a story by my Birth Mother and Birth Father, they had said "In the Night of Two Moons three beautiful Butterflies shone brightly, their iridescent wings beating in perfect harmony with the Eternal Ocean, these three Butterflies shone one different colour each, the one which represented Voice glistened Gold and Midnight Blue, the other one which represented Strength glowed an unwavering Indigo and Pink, and the last one the one thought to be the most important, represented Emotion, it was said that its wings shimmered a stunning Crimson Red and White, that where ever its wings would grace with a single beat there would always be a trail of Hope, of a light which people so lost in the darkness could follow in their time of need, so bright that the Blind would be able to catch a glimpse of the World, so tempting to touch that the Paralyzed would reach out to just to feel, to move and feel alive again. The Butterfly of Emotion brought life back to a Hollow Soul. But unfortunately these three Butterflies became broken and separated, they became mortal, human. And each Butterfly had little of what they represented." I'll admit; it seemed stupid at first. But never once did I judge them, I never wanted to ruin their belief. Someone who is incapable of feeling any more then little Emotion wouldn't want to believe, yet people with secrets will go to any length just to catch one of these Butterflies, whether it involves Money, Lying, Prostitution, Slavery or Murder, they’ll go to any length to find one...

Lucia Soulcarre is a slave, simple as. She was brought by the rich McVoulmar family to teach their four children how to do various things: read, write, sing, dance. Everything she can do she must teach them to do, all the while preparing for the Two Moons, a ball so grand and fine only the richest of the whole World can be invited, and dealing with the weird dance her heart performs everytime she meets up with the gorgeous slave Pierce Taine.
