Prologue: The invitation


Chris was awoken by a knock at her door. She yawned and reluctantly got up from her bed. Rubbing her eyes, she opened the door to reveal her butler. She gave him a tired smile," Yes...what is it?"

He gave her a somewhat suprised look," I'm sorry, did I wake you, my lady? I um, wasn't aware that you slept this late."

She chuckled," Yes well, even I like to sleep in some days. But it's no problem. Just tell me what you need to because I fully intend to go back to sleep."

He smiled and handed her an envelope with extremely decorative calligraphy," A messenger from Budehuc came and dropped this by. He said it was very important. That's all. Well, yes, I um...guess I'll leave you now." He quickly nodded and left the room, closing the door behind him.

Chris ran her hand over the envelope almost as if she were reading it with her palm. It was adressed to "The silver maiden". Chris sighed. She had hoped that they had finally forgotten that nickname. She quickly forgot it and went to opening the envelope and taking out the paper. She quickly read over it. It seemed to be an invitation to a ball at Budehuc...it was to celebrate the 10 years after the war.

"And not just any ball," Chris said amused," A masquerade"


Well...that was it...I'll have the next chapter in soon...so...tell me what you think!
