99 Commitment

Their gaze, their eyes, the aura around them – it felt peaceful. Staxius, the would-be-king, lovingly admired Shanna in her full glory. Only a few minutes had gone by, though it felt like hours in Staxius's mind. The thought process went from fully active to numb; her beauty mesmerized him, he could naught but hide his shyness. He wasn't the only one feeling that way, Xula was deeply affected too. This moment was what she waited for so long. To be someone's friend, someone's family, someone's lover, all she had wanted was to be accepted. Lucky was that day when they met, her heart raced ever since. The stares after wandering everywhere except each other's face finally met.
