Prologue

I wake up to sunlight shinning though the window directly into my eyes. I look around my room to find my head maid opening the dark gray drapes with dark blue embroidery to let some light into my room. I do not know her name because I am not allowed to I'm not allowed to know any servents name. Mother says they are not important enough for me to memorize their names. Siting up in bed I realize that the tattered training suit that I had layed on my couch last night has been replaced with a brand new dark grey one. Even though I don't know much about my head maid she sure knows a lot about me. She knows I'm not supposed to train yet she still brings me a training suit that is exactly fit to me. I give her a faint smile and ask " So what dress do I have to wear today?"

Like usual she says nothing and walks over to my walk in closet to get the dress that my mother has picked for me to wear. When she emerges with the dress I stare at it for a second looking over the dark grey silk. It's a long full dress that flatters my small frame. Everything in the castle is blue and grey the colors of my parents abilities. My things are mostly silver becauae I'm Magnetron. Maven stuff is mostly blue because he is a Nymh. I groan as she pulls out a corset. Mother says it makes me look more refined and elegant but I just feel trapped. I've gotten used to it over the years but I still hate it. I've decided to name my maid Sally. I only ever say it when I'm alone with her or I would be yelled at by my mother. I have no idea what she would do to Sally if she found out I gave her a name. I'm so afraid to find out what she would do. If she killed her I would never forgive myself for being stupid enough to disobey my mother. The dress slips on with ease and fits me perfectly as usual. I look at the big mirror in front of me and look at the royal blue lace belt around my waist. When Sally is done lacing up the corset I sit in a royal blue plush chair. As she is curling my hair my mother suddenly barges in.

"See I told you that the dress favors you."

"As it should."

" I'm glad you like it. You will be in coming to a meeting with me and your father to meet Prince Acyn Rivers of Cortova."

"Oh is that why I'm wearing such a elegant dress?"

"Yes, you have to look your best."

" Am I going to marry him to make peace?"

"Yes, but that's not the only reason. I think he is a good match for you."

"Well it's not like I have a choice so I'll see you downstairs when I'm done getting ready."

I watch as she slips out of the room. I noticed she was wearing a dress similar to mine but hers is all blue with a silver belt. I look at my perfectly curled. I have the same hair color as my father silver. Sally picks up a necklace from my collection. it's chain is silver and the gems are sapphire. The earrings match it. The gems remind me of my eyes sapphire. I prefer to wear lots of metal so if I need I can defend myself. I put on a braided silver bracelet and beautifully shined silver clips in my hair. I can fell every piece of metal I'm wearing it calms me down a little. I close my eyes and feel every piece my metal in my room to try to calm myself down. I take a deep breath open my eyes. I prefer not to wear makeup but I have to choice today. I'm wearing bold eyeliner, silver and blue eyeshadow, and rose perfume. I slip into my silver heels. My dress is long enough to cover them but not long enough I'll trip on it. Sally opens my door for me I walk out of my room heading for the throne room to meet my future husband Prince Acyn.
