To Find Edward

Marguerite is oblivious as she folds Arthmael's body into beautiful silhouettes. Following the familiar choreography, she dances relentlessly. Grand Jete! Penche! followed by a series of graceful pas de chats. All concatenated in front of the enthralled emperor. When the music reaches the outro in a full stop, Marguerite falls gracefully on the floor in a pose. She stays there and waits for the king to tell her she can leave. She stays on the ground for a long time but hears nothing from him. Wondering if she did anything wrong, she wants to lift her head to look at the king's face, but quickly remembers the warning he gave her. If she disrespects him any further, who knows what he might do to her. She suddenly feels her chin being lifted, her eyes meet the hazels of Demian. She forgets to breathe and falls from her pose onto the floor. She doesn't have time to regain her senses before two strong arms lift her off the floor. She is about to question him on his weird behaviour when her mouth is suddenly covered by his in a kiss. ------------------------------------------------- Marguerite is very talented. She has a beautiful voice, a great passion for music and various talents in the arts. Unfortunately, her bright future gets compromised when she is forced to leave her world to fulfill the wish of someone else. Marguerite wanting to go home as soon as possible, accepts. However things turn out quite unexpected for her. The cover belongs to the rightful owner. If you are the owner of the art and want me to take it down, DM me on discord burlesque_dancer#2837

Marguerite's curse

In the faraway distance, next to the familiar light of the fire, stands a giant tree that seems to have sucked up all the water in the area. Its leaves are luscious and vibrant, while its trunk is brown and robust. One would wonder how such a tall tree could grow in this desert. 

However, one cannot look passed the surroundings of that tree. As if all living creatures came to suck on its resources like ants, a dense population of humans seem to have nested around it.

The city looks poor, dilapidated and dirty. There is a clear distinction between the people living near the tree and the people living further away.

Near the tree, the houses are luxurious and colourful. Not much worse than houses you would see in DaLan. However, the further you go and the worse they become. Some aren't even houses, just a pile of dirt. If the rain were to ever fall it would blow it away like hay.
