A Silver Scheme
Once dinner was over, the family dispersed as usual, although tonight, they did it in a quieter fashion.
Only speaking to say things such as 'thank you for the meal, Mother' and 'good night,' the Daughters left for their bedrooms, saying nothing more and dreading the coming day.
Moments passed after that and Mother Selene now stood inside the courtroom of the Castle of Moonlight.
Just like any of the main courtrooms of the other Regional Castles, this courtroom was a grand and imposing chamber, designed to embody both majesty and fear.
The same dim silver light bathed the vast room, and it was divided into three sections with tall obsidian pillars that lined from the door to the throne. All wrapped with intricate carvings of moon phases.
At the base of every pillar were silver sconces, their flames dancing in an almost hypnotic rhythm, making shadows dance across the polished black marble floor.
