Hi ya! Shadow here, Myst and I are gonna take turns writing chapters in our
own characters point of view. Aoi's street clothes are a white tank top,
white pants, brown leather sandals, and a black cloak with a hood at night.
Oh and she always wears the Millenium Mirror. We only own our original
characters and items you know the drill.

I did a few hops to regain my balance. The boy and girl that had run into me looked very familiar. Nah, I never could make any friends because I was so distant from everyone. The only things I had for comfort were my necklace and dancing. I remained silent as the girl apologized.
"I'm so sorry! We weren't looking where we were going and well..." the girl said and I cut her off already walking in the direction of the town square where the stage for the troupe's next performance was being set up, "Why apologize for the past? What's done is done. Now if you'll excuse me." The girl pouted and said to the boy that was with her, "Come on Yami let's go." And with that they left.
Scowling I realized that if I were to go to the stage now I would have to deal with those idiot priests because the stage was for one of the most important and religious festivals of the year. Great, just great. I wanna duel someone to let off my anger. Wait a minute I got my cards taken away because one of the priests had beaten me at a duel. And Madame Sachi had taken away my cards for the time being because I lost. I was able to steal them back though. Only because that kid cheated was the only reason that I lost. Ugh, why Ra? Why? Hold it. The prince was called Yami. And that girl called her friend Yami. Oh, crud! I just acted like a class A jerk. No, no, no, no, no, no! Sob hello death sentence. I walked back to where we were staying; it was a good ways away so I would have time to think. After ten minutes of walking I still had another ten to do. Then Madame Sachi was right in front of me and grabbed my arm while running to the home we were staying at.
"Stupid girl! Hurry!" she cried, "It's almost nightfall and you still have to get dressed, fix your hair, and put some make up on!" The festival was to start at nightfall and my dance was the opening act. Over the past few weeks Sachi has been, well, a [insert an insulting word of choice to call someone here]. In two minutes I was in my dressing room putting on my blue silk dress. It was quite pretty and it shimmered when I walked. It ended an inch or two above my ankles and it was sleeveless. I had no shoes because it would hinder my movement. On my wrists there were gold bracelets. My hair was done in several small braids with some ornaments strung into them. I grabbed my black cloak and headed out.
The dancers were all ready and they whispered words of encouragement as I passed by them and to the stage. I walked on to the platform in utter darkness with only the murmur of the crowd for me to hear. The orchestra started the music and then a few stagehands lit a couple of candles so that the stage was illuminated. I did the pattern of moves that I had done so many times. The time seemed to fly and then the candles were blown out. I rushed to the backstage and sighed. After the opening dance anyone could either watch the whole performance or just wander to the other activities that were happening. In short this place was like a carnival. I had the rest of the night off. I grabbed my black cloak from the chair that I had laid it on and I went into the streets. I spotted the duo that had run into me. The girl looked panicked and left in a hurry. Well, I guess I should apologize and beg for my life.
"Hmm, I wanted to apologize for being a jerk and then she has to go. Ra, I need to work on my timing," I said walking up to Yami.
"But then you would be going against what you said earlier," Yami said turning to face me.
"Well, I think working with Kiba would make anyone go insane," I laughed and did an impression, "Faster you dogs! You call that a dance? I've seen hippos do better!"
"That is true."
"Yes."
"Oh, you did really well in that dance by the way."
"Wow, that's the first time I got a complement on that."
"Really?" he said with a surprised look on his face.
"Oh well, I don't let it get to me. It's my job that I don't want."
"Well what do you want to do?"
"I don't know. But anything has to be better then what I do."
"Being royalty isn't all that fun either. But it sounds as if you really want to be something else."
"I still want to be a performer but I just don't want to travel. It's quite annoying to go from one place to another constantly." The cheering of the crowd alerted us that the ceremony was starting.
"Come on! We have to get to the town square for the prayer!" Yami cried grabbing my hand and lead me back. We reached the outskirts of the crowd just as the priestess walked of the stage. And I just realized something, the girl that I ran into was the priestess!
