Making dresses

    I was an ordinary Seraphim, well as ordinary as you can get when you are a royal Seraphim. I was spoiled and I knew it and I hated every minute of it.  I have seen so many Seraphim suffering. It is horrible. I cannot even describe it. "It was awful, terrible, demoralizing, depraved, disgraceful, disgusting and, Hang on I need a thesaurus!" It made me realize how myopic the upper classes were. It made me want to throw up. I went down through the city to get the annual silk dresses that I have made for all of the girls in the orphanage. I always made sure they had at least 4 silk dresses in their closets. If they grew out of the dresses I made sure they were taken apart and used for their new dresses if they were desired. I went down and gathered up all of the dresses and handed them all placed in their special garment bags. I had also made sure that I had asked the girls questions like what was their favorite color, animal, flower, tree, and favorite design like ruffles, lace, feathers, jewels, etc. I made sure they got dresses that represented who they were. I went down to the orphanage and all the girls streamed out. They stood in line from youngest to oldest. The first girl that was my age was named Jennifer, she got her dresses and her favorite colors were blue gold, and green colors of the sea. She had a mermaid-style dress with feathers, shells, and sea glass that covered the skirt. The dress top was interesting.

The dress was a halter, and the halter was made from shimmering blue, purple, green, and white pearls. She took out the dress and squealed with such delight it brought tears to my eyes. Then there was Tigress, she was in love with tigers just like her name and everything was tiger's, she had a fake, but looked authentic, also felt authentic, tiger skin dress.

Another dress with a tiger roaring on the skirt with tiger claws around the hem and collar. All of the girls loved their dresses but then I saw a girl who didn't get a dress and she was staring at all of the other girls with tears in her eyes I walked over to her and she was about my little sister's size I had my sister's dress with me and I gave her my little sister's dress. The dress had a halter top with a flowing skirt. The skirt was covered with shells, sea glass, pearls, ropes upon ropes of sea silk; one of the rarest substances in the world. The entire dress was Egyptian style and the skirt was made of sea silk. I told her to go try it on. She looked at me and ran off and came back over to me a few minutes later. The dress fit her perfectly then I pulled out sea silk shoes that had a small clam with an even smaller pearl inside. Then I pulled out shoes for all of the other girls as well. This part was new, I gave them all necklaces, bracelets, brooches, purses, etc. They all came and gave me hugs. For a moment I could forget that my kingdom was a slab heap. They all thanked me over and over profusely as I walked towards my carriage. What they didn't know is that I had made every single one of those dresses, shoes, purses, necklaces, bracelets, and brooches. I went home to the grand palace that sat up above the city on a mountain in the middle of a mountain lake. My little sister was bouncing up and down with excitement for her dress and I told her that it wasn't made the right size for her and that the seamstress would have to take it in a lot because she had thought the dress was for me. She looked at me with hurt in her eyes and I told her that the dress would be done in the next 2 hours and she brightened. I needed to hurry so this dress would be done in time.
