"Lets go eat." Hakuryuu said beholding the painfully appetizing food on display spread out just a few feet in front of them begging to be eaten. they walk, morgiana sticking a little too close for comfort making hakuryuu nervous. They make there way to the table and hakuryuu hands the man some money, both of their mouths practically watering.

Hakuryuu lifts up a piece of meat on a stick and morgiana does the same. He shoves it in his mouth only for the next second to spit it out. "What is this?!" She shouts wiping his dirtied mouth. "Rats." The man speaks plainly and almost not supersized that he didnt like it. The man at the small shop just continued to stare at his meat that he was rotating slowly over a glowing fire clearly not interested in the angered prince.

Hakuryuu glared a moment and tossed the rat he just took a bit of into the garbage. "Come on morgiana." He spoke as he turns his head to look at the girl he expects to see also spiting out the horrid food.

But morgiana did the exact opposite. Morgiana had there sticks popping out of her mouth with tiny splashes of sauce smeared across her face. Hakuryuu eyes widen before he lets out a small chuckle thinking he half expected her to really eat anything.

Morgiana stares at the laughing prince for a moment before popping yet another stick of meat into her mouth. The person selling them looked appalled, no one had ever liked his cooking or even tolerated it. Morgiana stared at him her eyes confused. "They don't taste that bad." morgiana spoke as she followed hakuryuu to the next food station.

The food there was suitable for hakuryuu's tastes and he eats the festival food with a smile as morgiana eats a ton more than him making him giggle.

Morgiana and hakuryuu wandered around until they somehow ended up sitting politely in uncomfortable chairs watching girls dance and frolic about on the lightly lit stage. "Ah i need to talk to someone really fast, so wait here." Hakuryuu spoke sternly as he rose from his seat and headed for a certain direction.

Morgiana turns her head to see that a man with long silky black hair with a thick braid thats wearing far too less clothes is gesturing him toward him. Morgiana recognized him as the man that just silently watched her fight, though he did have an intimidating aura. She let out a sigh and caught herself once again staring at the dancers that were so stunning she almost wanted to throw herself up there.

The music came to a stop and the dancer caught there breath resting for a bit off the stage, though they weren't dancing morgiana was still staring intently at them. "We need another dancer?!" A girl with a extremely long brown braid in her hair yelled. She had sharp features and her body was flawless along with piercing purple eyes. Morgiana almost wished she could look so pretty.

The girl frantically scanned through the crowed and to morgiana's supersize her eye's landed straight on her. "She'll do." She said roughly as she marched her way to the confused fanalis. The girl with light brown hair grabbed morgiana's wrist and pulled her over to a man that was sitting on the side of the stage, he seemed to be the Leader or maybe a manger of some sort.

"She's cute enough right?" The girl said worriedly as she held morgiana's shoulders and shoved her in front of her so the man could examine her. Morgiana shivered a bit as the man stared at her in the wrong places a bit too long."More than cute enough." The man said with a smirk still not removing his eyes from the young fanalis.

"Ok you're doing a solo, just try not to look stupid ok?" The girl said as she stared into her eyes as if trying to encourage her. Morgiana could feel her heart drum in her chest as she grew nervous. Her head was spinning this was happening to fast she barely had any clue what was going on. She wanted to refuse, but she couldn't seem to choke the words out of her. Did she actually really want to go dance on that stage? Yes she did.

Morgiana took a huge breath of air as she tries to calm herself but she utterly fails. The girl slips a mask onto morgiana's slim face covering basically everything but her glowing red eyes. The girl then shoved morgiana roughly onto the stage her feet smacking loudly onto the stone floor.

It was painfully quiet and she could feel cold sweat drip down her back. I can do this. i can do this, i've seen people dance before. She repeated in her head trying to calm down but her efforts were futile. Morgiana froze seeing all eyes on her. This is just like a slave action. No, i cant do this. Morgiana huffed deep breaths as she relived her childhood standing naked as men wave their hands watching her fate being decided right in front of her. No matter how much she cried no one would help her, crying was useless, she was useless. Morgiana could feel herself shaking as she wanted to just run, but she was frozen in place.

The music started, The men violently beat on the deep drums in a rhythm that almost sounded familiar to her. Though it took her out of her trance she still didn't have the courage to dance. A large gust of wind blows through her hair almost making her flower that was tucked safely in her hair fly off, but she nervously grabbed it so it wouldnt. She couldn't lose kougyoku's hair pin, her friends hair pin.

Hakuryuu let out a sigh. He walked away from judal annoyed the only reason he called him over was bicker that he was spending too much time with a girl instead of him. But hakuryuu shrugged him off as the only thing on his mind right now was he had to get back to morgiana. How could he leave her alone just to get bitched at by his best friend? Mad at himself and judal he marched over to the previous spot morgiana was last seen.

But to his supersized his friend was no where to be found. Hakuryuu panicked and scanned the nearby crowed for her familiar face it should be easy enough to find her because her red hair makes her stand out like a sore thumb in any crowd.

Hakuryuu stops searching immediately as he see's deep red hair fly with wind out of the corner of his eyes. Morgiana's beating red eyes illuminated through the wooden mask, her eyes were so bright and stunning it almost made him lose his breath. Those red eyes and hair were unmistakably morgiana. his eyes widening to see morgiana frozen on stage, it almost made his heart drop. She looked just like she did when she was being sold just days ago. I have to do something he yelled in his head. Drag her off stage? No, thats not right.

He breathes in slowly preparing his throat for a yell. "You can do it morgiana! Your free!" Hakuryuu screamed so loud almost making the crowd cringe. He put his full heart into his words hoping it could somehow help the poor girl onstage.

Morgiana could feel her body become lighter as if a huge unbearable weight she had felt for years had removed it self form her shoulders. His words and voice almost made her want to cry, she had no clue why or how but his voice melted all the nervousness and thoughts away from her.

Morgiana began to move her body, after her nerves swept away. Morgiana didn't know how but she seemed to remember a dance from the time of her childhood. Though the memory was hazy she could remember that she would love to watch her own people dance and they would all gather around the blazing fire and dance to their hearts contents. It was a memory morgiana had somehow forgotten till now.

Morgiana tries to mimic the dance in her distorted memory, at she does so perfectly. Hakuryuu's eyes shined and his mouth parted slightly as he beheld morgiana dancing along the stage. Morgiana stared into the sky spinning and moving vigorously fast on her feet it almost looked impossible. She took shallow breaths and her face held a smirk, she felt so alive.

The crowd cheered louder and louder and morgiana only danced more beautifully as the cheers grew. Almost every single person was on there feet men screaming and whistling while girls stared in awe or some squealed with excitement. It was clear everyone was moved by the fanalis skills.

Then morgiana turned her head and stared at hakuryuu while she spun. Time slowed and hakuryuu's heart drummed in his ears. Morgiana crimson eyes stared into his icy blues one for what seemed like an eternity. Morgiana was almost shocked to see the man staring at her with his gentle smile she always craved to see. Then she smiled, And hakuryuu just about lost his mind. Her smile was captivating she had never seen her smile so big with her stunning red hair swinging behind her from her turn. Though he only caught a glimpse of it for there smiles being exchanged only lasted less than a second as morgiana continues to turn.

He wanted her so bad it was almost unbearable. He wanted to kiss her he wanted to be near her right now. He felt like he was losing his mind, hakuryuu clenched his fists but still kept a gentle smile painted along his face. He almost felt proud of the girl he had only known the girl mere days to see how far she has come, though they haven't known each other long he felt like he was somehow connected to her, like they had know each other their entire life.

The drums continued to beat as the drummers smiled and kept their eyes glued to morgiana. The redhead took scattered breaths as small amounts of sweat beaded from her face, The mask was painfully humid and cut off too much air. To her relief she could feeling it slip off her face. She took one more spin and the mask clattered to the floor. The people in the crowd just stopped and stared, not in a bad way but they were admiring morgiana's captivating face and amazing eyes. Though she thought she would be happier with the mask off, she wasn't.

Morgiana grew painfully nervous as people stared at her and she stopped and ran off the stage. She ran pretty far, she didn't want anyone to really see her right now, accept for maybe him. She ended up in an alleyway, she could hear people murmur from the festivals. She leaned against a wall and took deep breaths. She kept picturing hakuryuu's face in her mind, his smile while he was watching her was just too beautiful not to smile herself.

"Morgiana.."

"Hakuryuu?" Morgiana spoke as she swung her head to see hakuryuu slowly approaching her, she felt the familiar happiness surge through her she felt when ever she saw him. A small smile crept its way onto her face.
