"Looks like everything is back to normal." I said, looking around. The townsfolk seemed to be oblivious of what just happened. 'It's almost as if they all forgot...' I thought, starting to ponder why. "Well, would you all like to come inside?" Rhythmus offered, getting my attention as he pointed to the castle. "Oh, uh... Of course!" I said, nodding. "Halt! Who goes there?" One of the knights next to the gate stopped us. "They're with me." Rhythmus said, as the knight nodded, and we all walked inside. It was a beautiful palace, marble pillars, gold decor, it had everything a castle would have. "Oh, hello Rhythmus!" Sitting in the throne was a beautiful woman, with a gorgeous blue dress that sparkled like ice. She had dark blue hair, and rose-pink eyes. "Oh dear... Shiva use too much magic again?" She laughed. "I'm afraid so." Rhythmus said, Shiva waving. "And who are these people?" She asked him, looking at us. "Friends." He responded. "What's that symbol on her arm?" The Queen asked, noticing the insignia. "She's not dangerous. She's the last member of Eden." Shiva mumbled. "I see..." The woman said, looking at me. "Well, if a member of Eden hasn't killed you all yet, then I suppose she's trustworthy." The woman smiled.

"She's super cool." Shiva said. "And she's very strong." Rhythmus added. "I'm glad that you all think so fondly of me..." I said, a tad embarrassed. "Oh! How rude of me, forgetting to introduce myself... I am Tyrael Yuki of Sapphire city, Or, Shiva's mother. Lets address the matters at hand." She said. The people may not have noticed the distortion in time, but I certainly did. And as thanks for saving our city from the void, I would like to treat you all to an overnight stay here in the castle. I would also like you all to meet me in the dining hall once everyone is situated." She said. 'She certainly knows how to change a subject...' I thought, surprised at how fast she changed the topic. "Shiva, can you stand?" Tyrael asked her daughter. "Yes." Shiva nodded. "Alright. Rhythmus, could you take cobalt to his room, and Shiva, could you take the girls to their room?" Tyrael asked. "Yes, Ma'am." Rhythmus and Shiva nodded. "Follow me." Shiva asked me and Sylvia. We nodded, and proceeded to follow. Cobalt and Rhythmus went the opposite way. "Here we are!" Shiva smiled, as we all walked into the guest room. "Whoooaaaa!" Sylvia shouted. There were two beds, each made from very soft fabrics, and they both were very plush. The walls were painted white, with a gold trim. There was a big, golden chandelier in the center of the ceiling. "There's also a bathroom there." Shiva pointed to a door. "Before you get too comfortable, I suggest you wash up, then follow me to my mothers room so we can dress you up." Shiva said, as she walked out, closing the door behind her. We did as told. We both cleaned up, and walked out of our room, to see Shiva waiting patiently. "Alright, let's go find you both a dress." She said, as we walked down the hall. We arrived at a large entrance with double doors that creaked once shiva opened them. There was a beautiful King-sized bed, and a HUUUGE walk-in closet. "Let's see..." Shiva said, opening the doors to the closet to reveal many dresses. "Pick out one that you like, and I'll help you put it on." Shiva said. "In the meantime, I'll find something for Sylvia." She said, walking out of the room. "Oh wooooow! Wisteria, you'd look beautiful in all of these!" Sylvia said, holding dresses in front of me. "..." I shrugged. "Alright, Sylvia, come here." Shiva walked in with a rather large yellow ribbon. "Ooooh! You're gonna make me a dress?" Sylvia said, excited to find out. "Yeah! Come to my room and I'll do your hair, too!" Shiva said happily, as the two left. I took a few minutes to look at the many dresses, but still couldn't find one that I liked. "Having trouble choosing?" I turned around to see Tyrael, with a kind smile on her face. "I have the perfect dress for you." She said, as I moved out of her way as she dug through the closet. "Aha!" She said, holding up a light green dress with pink accents. "Here, try it on." She said, handing me the dress.

Two minutes later...

"Alright." I said, walking towards the queen. "I was right! It suits you perfectly!" She winked, looking to see how it fit. "I don't even think I have to do your hair, you look perfect." She smiled, as I looked in the mirror. "It's almost as if you were a Princess after all." She said.
