hi sorry about the shortness of the last chapter, but I though it ended perfectly. I'm sorry I don't update more often, sometimes I really feel bad about it, but you know what History projects suck! especially those one that require you to plan a trip to London and Paris in every excruciating detail. I mean come on what do I learn form finding out the cost of a rented car in London (besides the cost of renting a car in London - I mean historical value you know)---- K anywayz I'd like to say hello to Rebecca and Sarah. friends of mine who I just recently found out have accounts here. Hello!! OK I should start now.


Mage Cynthia of Caynn heard Cosette's sobs from her garden next to the Tremain town house. Over the few years she had lived next to the 'of Tremains' she had watched their treatment of Cosette with growing disappointment. She had heard about Cosette's tragic downfall from another neighbor and had always regarded and thought of Cosette with great sympathy. Having heard much of the arguments in the Tremain household she could guess that Cosette was upset over not being allowed to go to the ball. Cynthia never really had really liked royal balls, but she couldn't understand young Cosette's yearning to attend one so she decided to help her.

That night when the 'of Tremains' had left to go to the ball, she went to work. Slowly floating up to Cosette's window she found the girl sitting at her window, dazedly staring into the stars. Cosette acknowledged her presence with a start.

"Don't be frightened, " Cynthia said, "I'm here to help you."

"What- who are you?" Cosette stammered.

"I'm a mage," Cynthia told her as she ducked into Cosette's window and landed softly on the floor, "and you want to go to the ball at the Palace tonight, do you not?"

Cosette nodded, "Yes, but-"

"Don't worry about that now, " Mage Cynthia said, "we have a lot to do."
