It was still a few hours before the sun rose. Emyra sat on the corner of her bed fiddling with the hem of her nightgown, she was nervous, she had not felt that way for sometime. Even the soft knock on her door made her jump.
"Its open." Emyra called out, she stood up closing her hands together in front of herself. Her Mother opened the door followed by a hand maid.
"We must get ready, the coronation is soon." Meikeena exclaimed walking over to Emyra's desk the maid followed quickly behind her placing the gown she was holding on the chair. Emyra bowed her head thankfully to the maid and then at her Mother, the maid returned the gesture and left the room.
Emyra looked at the gown she had asked to get cleaned upon her arrival. Her Mother was already dressed in a rich crimson coloured dress, her straight white-blonde hair was behind her shoulders and little braids were behind her ears and connected behind her head. it was a very simple style. Small white jewel shone bright like the beloved star they were laced through.
Emyra sighed lifting her gown walking over to the bed, it was a beautiful light blue and silver gown, her Mother followed her with a smile placing each section of the gown apart. The gown was composed of a under dress, a sleeveless dress, and a over coat that had long sleeves and beautiful clasps. They all assembled beautifully. Emyra took off her nightgown and her Mother helped her put on the three layers, making sure each one was perfect and straightened properly.
Emyra turned and admired herself in the mirror, her Mother looking over her shoulder smiled and started to brush Emyra's long Auburn waves of hair. Emyra turned around thankful her mother had left her hair down, she bowed her head lightly. Meikeena took her Daughters circlet which was almost the same as hers but did not have the star stones.
"You look beautiful My Star." Meikeena placed a hand over her heart saluting her, Emyra returned the gesture. They both left the room and walked side by side to meet up with her Father. Estalian worse a silver and Crimson tunic over some black trousers and a metallic blood red shirt. He did not have any braids in his own hair, though his head was adorned with a much more extravagant circlet on his head.
Estalian took his wife's hand and walked beside her to the Throne room. They wore matching outfits, which made Emyra smile.
They stood by the doors, royal families and court members entered last, but still before the future King would. Elrond and his wife Celebrian came up behind them, both had a huge smile on their faces, his wife was pregnant. Emyra's Mother quickly turned around and embraced Celebrian in a hug, Emyra smiled, they had been friends a long time.
"I am so happy for you." Meikeena whispered before going to stand beside Estalian again, the two Lords saluted one another and then Elrond did the same to Emyra, she simply smiled.
"It is good to see you somewhere other than at a funeral." Emyra admitted and Elrond nodded in return. Galadriel and Celeborn approached and stood behind Elrond and his wife.
"My lovely daughter." Galadriel smiled touching Celebrian's cheek, Elrond simply bowed his head to them and smiled. Celeborn glanced at his daughters little baby bump and it was obvious to Emyra he could barely contain his enthusiasm.
"Estalian, Meikeena." The two elders greeted and smiled. "Let us not forget Emyra." Emyra put her hand over her heart and bowed, they both bowed their heads in return to her gesture.
A horn rung from inside the large hall. All the Elves waiting outside the door readied themselves to enter in a file, Emyra stood before her parents she took a deep breath, let the ceremony begin
