I rose from my bed in what I thought was a reletively graceful mannor, the purple sheets pooling about my waist, the bare pale white contrasting sharply against its vibrant color. I shook my head lightly as I looked around me and recognized the room in which I had not fallen asleep. It was the room I'd seen in my dreams many times when I did not want to wake.
I pushed raven hair out of my blue green eyes, and lifted myself entirely from the bed held high above the marble floor, feeling the cool hardness beneath my feet, and the sudden burst of cold air against my flesh.
I remembered nothing. Nothing of who I was, nothing of where I was, or what I was doing there, rang clear in my mind. All I knew was that my gaze was still foggy from sleep, and I was standing in a foreign room with no clothes to protect my body.
I turned to see the man who had lain next to me, still sleeping soundly, for my careless movements had not awoken him. I smiled faintly. He looked familiar, if nothing else, and I padded carefully to a door that resembled that of a closet, thumbing through the gowns of yellow, and white, and pink, until I found one of emerald green. I slipped it on, knowing that the man sleeping like a babe would not like that I hadn't waited for his approval, somehow. I dressed anyway, feeling different in a world so foreign to my own.
Turning, I took in the room with the shiny marble floring and the cut out windows, and balconies that led to countless gardens beyond. I brought a small pale hand to my eyes and wiped away what sleep was left there, clearing to me the face of the man.
It was a strong face, with round eyes that looked as if they had failed to take their shape. A big mouth, with two rows of not so perfect teeth, but they were good enough for all that they were used for, and with a small nose, not placed somehow perfectly with his other big features. There were various knicks and cuts in his face from battles with a shaving knife, and prickly hair was still coming out of his skin to torture me, but I didn't mind so much.
