Sorry it's taken me so long to reply and the quality is so bad- I never realised I'd be quite this busy for the past few days! :3
Selene
For so early in the morning, the castle was teeming with servant and cooks and waitors all preparing for the celebration of Miss Valencia's birthday. Selene herself had just been getting in the way of things, apparently causing the bakers to burn their bread and the cleaners to have to start again on the floors. After a short time of trying to help, she finally sighed and stood by a window looking over the kingdom. If she narrowed her eyes, she could just about see the Royal Family mounting their horses for the parade. The sight made Selene smile. This was the day that all of the lies and the secrets and the rebellions could be forgotten. She felt a wave of fondness sweep over her towards the young Princess, she was possibly the only person that could bring the whole Kingdom together like this. "Selene." A sharp voice behind the brunette made her jump, snapping her out of her thoughts. "Sorry, ma'am. I was just-" She stopped herself as Greta, the cook and her boss, raised her hand for silence. "I know you want to be down there and, quite frankly, you're no help down here so I'm willing to let you go- as long as you are back here the second it finishes." Selene blinked in shock. "Really? Oh, thank you, ma'am!"
Pulling off her maid's cap and apron, Selene looked down at herself as she descended one of the many large staircases in the castle. Her grey dress would have to do for now, she sighed as she pulled the pins out from her hair and let it tumble down her back in loose ringlets. Glancing at her reflection in one of the passing windows of the castle, she realised that she no longer looked like a lady's maid, now more of a middle-class young lady. Taking a deep breath, a tug of nerves slowed her pace to a brisk walk as the sound of bustling people grew. Soon, the crowds of Fallon came into view, the many shades of wings merging into one beautiful colour display.
It did not take long for her to find a place amongst the crowd where she could see well enough. Craning her neck to see if anything was happening, a tug on her dress skirt caused her to look down to her right. A small, dark-haired little girl gazed up at her. "Excuse me, but I can't see." Selene's gaze softened as she bent down to the girl's height. "Where's your mother?" She asked, glancing around to see if she could see any frantic mother looking for her lost child. The girl shrugged and Selene sighed, straightening up and reaching down to scoop the child into her arms. Hoisting her up to a comfortable position, Selene turned her attention back to the parade. "What's your name, sweetheart?" She asked, addressing the girl that was half way between balancing on Selene's hip and resting in her arms. "Vondila, miss." The girl, Vondila, seemed comfortable enough so Selene relaxed. "I'm Selene. It's a pleasure to meet you." She smiled at the girl, her head snapping up as the sound of hooves followed by many cheers distracted her attention.
I'm just going to finish it there as I'm not quite sure what has really happened with the whole arrow thing xD Sorry haha ;3
