Silver Eyed Queen
Prologue....
Silver eyes gazed upon the breathtaking castle that lay just a mile away from them. They had never seen such a site, human made at least. Thin tanned hands ran through long golden hair, as a wind pulled it's way against bronzed skin. She had waited her whole life for this experience. This time, this one memory to store for hundreds of years of life to come.
Finally a chance to be around my own. My own people. My own kind. A voice inside her said, as the sun set slowly. The trees around her spread shadows upon the only other person in the area. And as her icy orbs turned to look upon him, another voice in her mind chose to speak up. They are not your people. You know that...while they do not. You will always know. You do not belong. It was the only voice she looked up to. The only person she dared to listen to. Her brother.
"Seeing as I have no want to do this, and you, sister, are the one that has tortured me to come here, I think you should go first, and you can talk to the...oh what do you call it?" Asked the man that stood next to her. His voice was worldly beyond his age, or how old he looked, and it held a crispness of autumn, and the chill of winter, yet held a tone that demanded respect.
"Brother, their king. Seeing as you will be living with them. And they are, by day, your people. You should know about them." The girl replied, eyes filling with amusement, but shaking her head at the same time. Her voice flowed softly upon the wind, holding the warmth of summer, and the kindness of spring. It was filled with hope and youth, and yet tinged with age.
"I resent that." He said, mounting up onto a beautiful white mare. "I will not be included with a people this low. They are your people, if you so wish that. And 'tis the only reason I have agreed to come. Younger sister of mine."
"Well, older brother, than I ask you one thing of this whole trip."
"That would be?"
The girl paused, and lifted herself into a black saddle, the pale gray horse below pausing in it's movements to let her get on. "Never. Never. Tell who we are. For while we are with humans, we are humans. And let that rest. Please promise me this brother." She asked, looking to him with begging in her silver eyes. Charcoal black eyes never turned to look into the begging orbs that desired so much in a single glance, a single wish. They instead looked out into the land that lay ahead, and with one sigh they glanced up at the heavens.
"Yes sister. For that I know is you one wish. And this is your one dream come true." Nodding, he looked at her, to see her eyes fill with pure joy and a smile grace pale pink lips. "Now, shall we join your...people?"
And with that the pair rode down, into a world of deceit, jealousy, and a hate they had never known to exist. For their world. Their universe. And their very life. Was one of the immortals. A culture that was just a mystery to humans. And about to become their very world.

Yes, short I know, but I had to stop there, Tell me how you like the characters. If they seem perfect, believe me they are far from it. And, I hope to be very accurate on what their kind are like. And while most of you can tell, oh well. I'm choosing not to tell it till the end of the next chapter.
