Celeste's Second Task


I slowly looked out the window which was covered with ice and snowflakes. It was snowing outside which was the usual in Deylon, the sun rarely makes its appearance there. A tear rolled down from my eye as I realized that I would soon leave this place. A place where I grew up, A lot of memories here would be left behind. I was not sad about it. Not at all! After years of being treated differently for looking unique and exotic, I can now make it out and be normal once in a while.

I softly ran a finger on the metal chains of my gown, I liked it! No - I love it! I was filled with joy when my Mother allowed me to wear something like this. Wonderful creations like this are rarely seen in Deylon (My kingdom) because of the extreme weather conditions. I won't miss the opportunity to wear this once in my life. "You better not wear that here, you might melt some ice sheets" My younger sister joked "It's too cold here anyway. The climate, The people" I softly responded, I'm happy that my family loves me, Love that can keep myself together.

"A High Bun would look great on that" My young sister suggested "I'll go with that" I responded and tried doing my hair in an up-do and she was right, It did matched the gown that I was wearing and even my oriental face It complimented "I'm excited that you would be able to go out, You can have someone to lift up the curse that was placed on you" My sister softly mumbled which I didn't like that much since my intention was pure learning "I came there to learn not to flirt, okay?" I responded in a sarcastic manner, My sister just shrugged it off and continued to help me with what I was doing. "Well, My job here is done" My sister said as she slowly fixed the strap that was behind my neck. I could feel the gown embracing my body, It was so fitted that I can feel my body became one with the gown.

The Gold metal chains shined on its own while I wore my star earrings that I usually wear on gatherings. After looking at myself at the mirror, This is the new 'me'. I also wore my silver heels that was newly bought from the local shoemaker.

I was now sitting in front of my dresser. I was doing my own make up by the way and I want it to be just simple but classy at the same time. I chose the color nude for my lipstick so that I wouldn't be that much noticeable, My dress was enough for me to be noticed though I try to be simple at all times but I think I overdone it this time. I'm very confident as I looked at myself once more, I've grown into a beautiful woman that is not fully accepted in the society. But I do believe that one day, Everybody would be accept me as 'Celeste'. I'm excited to meet the others as well and to find the 'right' person that would help me lift up the curse for me to be fully happy again.
