The Red Moon Of Rosantine

_ DREAMS _ 10

she started to tremble and walked back to the mirror, to see exactly what she had become. When the mirror revealed her face, the horror on her face was clear. Her left eye, was covered by black roses and the veins beneath her eyes were pure black with the emerald blood running through them, could be seen from her skin. To her horror, she screamed. She screamed as tears of green started to flow from her and the door slammed open.

“Eloria!!”

Xilver burst in along with another girl with hair as blue as the night sky. When they saw the collapsed eloria crying with emerald green like tears, xilver rushed to her and hugged her tight in his arms, hushing her.

“that wasn’t you eloria, the person you saw in the mirror wasn’t you, so please…you have to control yourself…don’t let your emotions take over you or it’ll grow worse..”

He pleaded as his grip tightened while his body shook in fear , for someone who flicked her to be like this, seemed like he didn’t know about this either and the girl with him that had entered moved closer to them. She tapped on xilver’s shoulder and he glanced at her, nodding, and stopped hugging eloria. He stood up and patted eloria’s head, leaving the room while staggering , mumbling to himself. Before leaving the room, he looked back at the frightened eloria and the girl nodding at him.

“ah, that’s right.”

The lady turned back and smiled at eloria, with a slight head bow and spoke in a polite, graceful tone

“to the celestial star rosantine, of the iliakós and Νύχτα, may the moonlight king embrace your dreams till the solarium sun welcome you to a new day. I’m the 11th wonder of the iliakos empire, the ellinikà star of the east maeve Chloris. Please address me casually however you wish.”

She said as she took eloria’s hand, pressed her forehead against the back of her hand then stood straight, making eloria sit down on her bed and patted eloria’s back.

“everything sure is confusing, isn’t it?”

She spoke gently and calmly, and her presence gave off a warm and soothing aura. When eloria had stopped sobbing, she wiped her tears and looked at maeve, and when she did, her eyes widened.

Behind her was that lady again , with a half head , her mouth wide open . Eloria could feel if staring at her again but she was already so exhausted that rather then telling maeve about it, something took over her body for a moment, another presence as she spoke in a harsh and cold way

“you, behind her. Get the hell out of my room, im not in the condition to deal with you.”

Maeve was silent, as she looked back from the corner of her eye and then back at eloria, tilting her head while questioning

“who are you talking to, your grace..?”
