A Jason lead us to the Throne room I guess you could call it we saw a little bit more of the city which was like the rest, spectacular. The building we were walking through was very intricate, I guess it was the palace or something cause it looked absolutely amazing! Every detail carved intricately with such passion and conviction. It was like the people believed in what they were building, they were just doing it because someone told them to. 'Though I believe that had some factor in it' I thought stupidly.

"Cassandra it is right through here." As we came to the archway I stopped, it looked so beautiful. It was a deep rich mahogany with white veins spreading through that I assumed to be marble. But what really caught my eye was the pictures carved into the wood around the door. It seemed to show some type of history. At the very top I saw something that made my heart stop. It was a carving of a man and a woman holding a child with an inscription below them saying. All hail Cassandra Eliona Burkley, heir to the throne!

With that I passed out once more much to my regret...

It was some kind of flashback, I saw my self as a young young girl maybe 2 years at most running around in this very place.
'But that is impossible?! I have been in the orphanage since before I was born!'

I figured that Ms. Woodrow had something to do with it. So I left that thought for later an continued watching my younger, carefree self. I watched as I ran straight under the in scripted doorway into a young mans welcoming arms. Well not necessarily young but maybe around 27 but still young enough. He picked me up and spun me around and with a shock I realized that this... man was my father. I slowly walked towards him and tried to touch him but my hand simply slipped through his body and he did not notice me. I was shaken out of my reverie when he said

"Hey Eli, come on! We have to go to the ceremony now for you to become like me! All powerful and stuff!" he said jokingly. I could tell from his eyes that he truly did not like all of the power and respect given to him, just like me. As we walked through another door way I saw Elkheim and a few others that looked similar to him with the pointed ears and white hair.(AN: their not elves they kind if just.... ok so maybe they are rip off elves but shhhhhh don't tell anybody!)

One of the men beside Elkheim said, " As you know today we will perform the spell that we perform on every royal to walk these halls."

"Of course," my father replies," let us begin immediately."

"For those who do not know what this ceremony is," he said looking straight at me." It is the changing, it Makes you become a part of the Eternal race, or as we know it, The Eldarí.(Yes this is a name of a species from C.S Lewis books but get over it. please.)

As he said that all if the sudden men jumped through the glass stained windows surrounding everybody in seconds. My father pushes my younger self who was now crying uncontrollably. He then pulls out his thin curved sword an attacks with inhuman speed. But what truly surprised me is when the men who had there faces covered up responded with just as much speed.

I was then shaken awake, " Cassandra!!! Cass!!! Please wake up!" Atticus said with worry evident in his eyes. " Oh good your awake" he said happily as I opened my eyes.

"I need Elkheim, now." I told him and the others. They all looked shocked but Jason nodded and ran through a doorway and a couple moments later came back with Elkheim looking flustered to say the least.

"What is it?" he asks.

"I need to speak to you alone" I say urgently. He looks to everyone and they reluctantly leave though Atticus lingers for a but deciding whether or not he should go.

"Elkheim," I say once we are alone " I need to perform the ceremony"

AN: Wellllll sorry for the cliffs, not really cause it's fun.

I'm sorry that it's been like 25 days since my last update so in honor of that I'm gonna try to update tomorrow. It's going to be sort of a filler chapter but at the end something will happen and it might be another cliffy.
