You are not human

Roxy stared at her reflection in the mirror, and she was stunned by what she was seeing. She always knew she was a beautiful woman but this?! I f she could, She would have kissed herself or probably gotten married to her. Even the maids were staring at her with awe.

"You are very beautiful, milady." The two maids said in a chorus with genuine smiles on both their faces.

"Thank you." Roxy answered smiling back at them. "It is because of you two," she sais spinning around. "You both did a great job."

"No milady we did little." One of the maids answered.

"You are already stunning." The other maid continued.

"Please lets escort you to the royal hall. Princess Eva is waiting for you." Looking at herself one last time, Roxy turned around and followed the maids."

Once again, she was stunned by how beautifully decorated the palace was. It screamed of ethreal beauty and wealth. Well, like everything present in here. Even the people looked expensive with their similar features. Walking through the corridors, she felt like she was been eyed. Whispers exploded everytime she would by-pass a corridor. 

It made her feel a little bit uncomfortable , but as she observed the environment in which she was, she quickly forgot about it.

The walls were painted in a cream-white grayish colour, with flamy designs at the base portraying strangely shaped branches of trees with a sparkly gray colour and deep bluish sparkly flamy leaves.She wondered what all of that meant.She came back to reality when the soft breeze blew on her face. She was now walking on a bridge, which had a floor made up of... Wait!!! Where those clouds? Was she really walking on clouds?! She asked herself surprised. She stopped in her tracks as her body went rigidly cold. The maids turned around with both worried and confused looks. She was standing as stiff as a stick.

"Milady, what is going on?"

"I... I... Th-The... Floor?" At this point, she was stuttering like hell, which caused the maids to burst out in an impaling laughter.

"You will not pass through the floor my lady. Look. We are all walking fine on it."

"B-but you are supernatural beings." She said her voice barely a whisper, her eyes closed and her fist clenched.

 The maids looked at each other and burst out again, while roxy was still holding on for dear life.

'What if i have just let my guards down and all of this was just a trap? Is this how i am going to die?'She was driven out from her thoughts when two hands held hers and she felt her feet moving.

"See? You are not going to fall. It is safe." And like just like that, She let out a sigh of relief releasing the tension in her body.

 They by-passed more corridors before reaching the royal hall where Eva was waiting,and as soon as she saw her, an elegant smile graced her lips. But, another person was there, with Eva. She looked exactly like her. The only difference was that, the woman looked like she was in her forties.

 She stood up from her seat and approached her gracefully.

"Roxane Winters." Her teeth shone like a billion stars as she smiled at her? and her voice, a sweet melody.

"I am queen Evilyn, Marcus' mother." The woman said approaching her, the confidence evident in the way she walked and positioned herself

"I have been waiting so long to finally meet you dear." And like that, she hugged ever so tightly almost chocking her.

Still confused, Roxy stared at her with a puzzled look. "What's going on...?" Roxy asked her voice barely a whisper.

"I know all of this is frightening to you, but, you have to know what you really are. Come. While talking, she led her to the massive couch having the shape of a cloud. Once they sat down, a maid came in with a tray containing a tea-pot and three cups. She served them tea, and left.

"I do not want you to fear me or anyone here in Ascaria be it inside or out of the palace but there is something about you that you need to know." Queen Evilyn looked over at Eva before turning her attention back to her.

"Ascaria is facing countless problems right now. And if we do not take actions as fast as possible, everything about Ascaria will be brought down to ashes."

"That's why i brought you here, Roxy. You and Marcus are the only one who can help us. If you don't, Ascaria is lost." Eva proceeded.

But if you need Marcus too... Why didn't you get to him but to me?"

"Ever since Marcus went to the human realm, we didn't get any news from him. We didn't know how he was doing."

"We did try to reach to him but to no avail. But as we recently tried to contact him again, I found you." Eva proceeded once more after her mother paused.

"I found out that you are his girlfriend which was a surprised to us because Marcus has never been interested in relationship. He always rejected all the women who tried to get closer to him. But when I saw you with him, I knew you were the one. So bringing you here was the only thing i could do for him to come back. If we can have both of you here, Ascaria will be safe.

"But what can I do to help? I'm just a mere human."

"That is what you think you are." Queen Evilyn took over again. "You are one of the most powerful being ever created. You are not the weak human you think you are. You are not human.
