1 [The Awakening]

Lights...blurry lights....

This smell..so..familar to me. Like the fresh baked buns the cooks used to make...

All I, Anthanesia, could remember is..pain and grief..now it's just a calming feeling..is this..what heaven feels like?

No, this is not heaven..but..a room? whose bed is this that I'm in? why..why does my head hurt so much..?

I sit up in bed looking around. This scene seems so familar. Oh, this is my room? but..my father..he, he killed me. Didn't he? He killed me because.., because, oh. That's right. I had almost forgotten. He killed me because another woman presented herself as the rightful daughter and that I was..the illegitimate daughter of the Dé Moonstrios.

She, that women, was named Isabella last I remember. At my beheading she even stole my fianceé. It seems the Gods were having mercy on me. I can rewrite my story.

I get out of the bed and walk over to my dresser and pull out a royal blue day dress.

This should do. Hm, what year is it?

I look into a mirror at my reflection.

It seems that I am 16 years old again. When I died I was 18.

I suddenly hear talking outside my door and two maids burst in.

"Oh my, Lady Anthanesia, you are awake? Usually you would still be asleep" Miss. Aico was the one to say that.

Miss Aico was always the one there for me since I was a baby. She was the one to raise me so I think of her like a mother i've never had since my mother died during child birth.

"Miss. Aico thank you for being here. it means a lot." I smile at her.

I was never grateful for the things I had until, until, I lost them.

Miss. Aico eye'd me for a bit before proceeding to say, "Of course princess you are like my own child since I was never able to have any. So thank you for being here."

Such sweet words..would..would I be able to hear them again when I'm 18?
