First topic message reminder :

The room which you are greeted with as you first enter the palace, through the tall double door entrance. One large magnificent glass chandelier hangs from the tall ceiling, adorned with thousands of crystals shining like stars. A grande glass double staircase with a golden runner will lead you to the higher floors of the castle.

The Seventh evening of the Capricorn has arrived on Alouria, thus making it Hearth's Candlelight Eve. For those that have no idea what this means date wise, it is December 29th. The pre dusk sun shines through the palace, while at each of the windows a candle is burning brightly. The final dinner, which is a special dinner to celebrate this holiday, has just been ingested by the entire group. What is going to happen with them is anyone's guess, but a very warm and hopeful feeling fills the castle.

Ryan descended the stairs into the foyer. A grande hearth was burning in dancing flames of pearlescent colors. Garlands of beaded crystal ornamentations and silk flowers adorned the mantle, and it was surrounded by wrapped gifts, presumably for the royal family and guests.

Alexis was sitting by the hearth in a hooded cape, a traditional Alourian winter garment, waiting for the sun to completely set so they could light the windowsill candles for the night.

"Hey. You waiting for gift opening time?" Ryan chuckled.

"No, actually, that doesn't happen until the morning. I'm waiting for sunset, so we can light the evening candles." She replied, turning her soft gaze towards him.

"Oh, okay. I just came down to drop this gift off. I should head back upstairs and get dressed for stargazing...except I don't think I'll be wearing a medieval hood like that." The model joked innocently.

Rayla walked down to the foyer with zayn following behind her. The two were having a short conversation about the gifts they were giving to others before stopping to place them down.

Rayla placed one gift for every member of celestix who was on this trip aswell as one for mina and mytqiue.

Zayn placed four gifts down. One for lux, ally, alexis and mysqiue. Noticing the princess he walked over to her. "What time does the star gazing take place? Lexi?" He asked her.

She looked out the window. "Roughly, in about ten minutes." The sky was getting darker and it would soon be time to light the candles before they leave.

The King and Queen entered the foyer dressed in regal winter garb, holding unlit candle lanterns.

Noko and Lena arrive at the foyer in quick succession. The moon fairy would give a small wave to Rayla and heads for the hearth to place the bag of gifts down near it. After that, she'd give a respect curtsy towards the king and queen.

Rayla give a small bow of respect towards the king and queen before walking over to their daughter. "You alright lexi?" She asked. She was concerened for her friend after the insident in the park a few days ago "Seems kinda quiet out here."

"Sorry for being late." Snow calls out, walking slowly down the stairs in a tradition Alourian outfit for that time of year with a set of small gifts for everyone. She would bow to the king and queen as polity as she could, then sets her gifts down with the rest.

"I'm alright," She replies. Mystique wasn't around for this part of the celebration as she would be with her mom at the temple, and participating in "stargazing" always made her feel uncomfortable anyway.

The princess simply sighed, thinking of the oracle's breakdown at the park. "It's just that my father has been acting strange, and I've been getting this odd feeling lately. I feel like something is going to change, like the ground beneath me is volatile and could shatter at any moment."

Rayla gave a look of somewhat worry. She could see her friend wasn't confortable. "Regardless of what your cousin saw in her vison, that future hasn't occured yet." She said in a conforting tone. "You can still rewrite it sonce its not set in stone yet. Don't worry lexi. Im sure everything will be okay."

The last ray of light disappears beneath the horizon and balding man in a very fancy get up standing next to the king clears his throat, "The Eve of Rebirth as begun. Persephone if you would do the honors please." The queens personal hand maiden slowly approaches the Queen with a lit flame, pass it to her.
