It was always dark in the room, just beyond the entrance to the
castle, the curtains drawn shut, and everything so quiet, the only sound is
the constant tick of the time piece that hung over the large metallic
doors.cold, she liked it cold, sitting on the chair so far up, a set of
stairs that had over 50 steps, and a girl sitting at the very top on the
chair, slowly opening her eyes drawing in a breath, seeming to have
difficulty as she strained to focus the room around her, coming from a deep
meditation of sorts and watching the door, knowing someone was close.
And just as she sat up, the doors swung open, brining in the light from outside, how it stung her eyes, those crystal blue eyes, but she didn't not wince or move her arm to shield it away no, sitting like a porcelain doll as she watched Gallic enter, her most trusted soldier, and beside him..
"Hitomi..."she whispered and nodded, waving her hand to Gallic, who bowed and without a word left, closing the large doors behind him.
As if on cue Hitomi looked up, following the cold marble steps up and up, hardly able to see, and raised a brow curious, wondering a moment if she's seen this girl before, but no, she couldn't have.but this girl before her was as beautiful as the nights sky, but as cold as a harsh winters breeze, and so pail, and fragile looking, her black hair in waves surrounding her, gently touching the floor, and wearing a white dress, that contrasted with her hair in a remarkable way.
I'm glad you could come. Hitomi blinked, glancing around, where had that come from, sounding as if from all directions then hearing a small laugh and looking up at the girl do not worry, it is only you and I in this room...Through my mind I speak. The voice strong as if she was standing right beside her and talking right into Hitomi's ear, but no the girl was way above on her pedestal, not moving an inch.
"Who are you?" Hitomi asked, wincing as her voice bounced off the walls of the large room, sounding dreadfully loud, and her own voice asking herself the question, unable to answer the echoes.
I am here to help you.My name is Celest I rule this land that you now stand in, forgive my guard for mistreating you...but we had to rush you here, to try and keep you out of harms way, you where almost taken by our enemies Celest paused closing her eyes, from what Hitomi could see, it seemed she was asleep, but then she opened those startling eyes once more, staring down at Hitomi softly.
"You mean those men who started to fight?" Hitomi asked slightly confused, but summoning up a picture in her mind of them as she rode off with the soldier.
Yes.they want to destroy me for my work, I've tried so hard to please others..but all I get in return is hatred and pain there seemed a hit of sarcasm in her voice...or thought as Hitomi put it, stepping closer, but hugging her arms lightly, feeling the sting of the cold that wrapped around her they are dangerous, who knows what they would have done. But she stopped. The girl looking straight ahead at the door, as it slowly opened, and Gallic stepping through, his head bowed.
"Forgive me your majesty. we have intruders, the king is on the premises what are your orders?" He did not look up, keeping his head bowed down, the girl smiled slightly as she thought looking at Hitomi a moment then at the guard, and in her mind she spoke again, Hitomi catching the message that was sent, and Gallic nodded once more, backing away and then turned, waving to a few guards as they set out the doors closing shut once more, and Hitomi gasping as she looked at Celest, getting a chill at her orders, but seeing her emotionless expression as she watched her moment, no pity in her eyes, but no hatred, watching Hitomi's reaction.
"Kill them?!"
And just as she sat up, the doors swung open, brining in the light from outside, how it stung her eyes, those crystal blue eyes, but she didn't not wince or move her arm to shield it away no, sitting like a porcelain doll as she watched Gallic enter, her most trusted soldier, and beside him..
