Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gladriel dropped down in her old room and watched as Shep dropped down gently to his feet as well next to her " Well it depends if you enter that part of the dancing competitions... yes our kingdom loves to dance, sing, art, and things that you would never think of..." she said smiling at him her tone was seriuos about the break dancing thing. "Oh and yeah depending on what kind of slow dance it is..." she grinned funnily "now that we're in the castle they know the Queen and her mate, you, are here and the festivities can officially start... as soon as we get our things on... go down the hall and one of the assistants or maids will help... and yes I was planning on freeing them as soon as I became queen but they refuse to go..." she said and pushed him gently out the door and one of her maids came in and helped her get ready for the party "oh and its a masquerade HONEY...." she yelled really loud through the giant oak door that stood in front of her not ten feet away.

Gladriel laughed while her maid helped her in her dress and found her mask "Yes silly a masquerade...." she said and one of her other servants went and helped Shep fine some costumes that he could wear. Another one of a Gladriels maids came in and started to help her with her hair brushing it gently and started to put it up in an elegant bun and then put one of the nicely beaded hair peices that went over the bun. (( here's what she looks like kinda http://photobucket.com/image/anime girls in dress/outofthebluerandomluv/Anime Girls/girl6345678.jpg?o=10 and yes someones helping you just like I said above))

(( lol thanks and no the hair wouldn't be like that...))
Gladriel was finally done getting ready and went to Sheps room and knocked on the door hoping he was ready "Come on hun... we gotta make the announcement that everything is ready and the festival can begin... actually I"ll be right back and tell them the dancers can start... so we have a good entrance thing..." she said and rushed down the hall holding up her dress so she didn't trip on it with her new shoe she had gotten. When she got there someone had apparently gotten the message early and the tap dancers started early like they usually did in the spring. (( the vid for what it looks like and sorry it took so long I had to go upstairs and plug the comp in... yeah its a lap top smile http://youtube.com/watch?v=0W2duTA5kJ4 thats it... ))

Gladriel smiled and turned around moving a strand of hair from her face and looked at him her face gentle and calm as the wind blew on her face and the moon shown on it cause it was nine o'clock where they were now. "Thats good... and you look really good..." she said smiling and walked over to him and grabbed his hand gently then apparated them to the stage behind the dancers and the music came to the end and and announcer came on.

"Ladies and Gentlemen I give you someone who hasn't appeared in over a century with her wonderful fiance... THE QUEEN MISS GLADRIEL..." a cheer whipped through the crowd as Gladriel pulled Sheps hands to the center of the dance floor and she looked around at everyone. They were all applauding happy for their queens return and a happy one at that.

"LET THE FESTIVITIES BEGIN!!!!" she exclaimed loudly and music started playing in the background agian and the dancers came up. Peopled headed to the tavers or stayed out and danced on the dance floor waiting for the first royal dance. Gladriel took Sheps other hand and put it on her waist and the other one up at eye level and started dancing with him happily while the crowd twirled and dance rhythmically with the celctic violinist that played. (( song http://youtube.com/watch?v=aIxUXjJL4mk&feature=related ))

Gladriel looked at Sheps eyes and sighed "Are those what they're suppose to look like now... theres no need to worry... of any danger..." she said her voice seriou and in a whisper so no one could hear. She ddin't really care if they were really that way because they were pretty neat to him but curiousity still made her ask. But a couple seconds later someone started yelling

"LET THE QUEEN SING.... YES LET MISS GLADRIEL SING..." she sighed and looked at Shep after looking behind her at everyone who started cheering after the man started saying those words.

"I'll be right back..." she said and she walked to the stage moving thorugh the crowd with poise and grace. She finally got up to the stage after a minute of moving through the crowd and the light shown on her "Ok then you guys want me to sing well... " she waved to the band and she started singing a tone that was usual for her people but probably different from what Shep was use to her singing. As she started to sing lights around the crowd dimmed and a spot light on were was the brightest light. She looked out into the crowd her face glittering with makeup as the light shown on her slightly pale skin and her hair glimmered with streaks of violets and blues and indigos as she sang. The crowd swayed back and forth as she sang getting into the music. A smile still light her face brightly while she sang and her eyes closed as she got into the music her voice coming easily to her. (( song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfO6JpR5Ip8 ))

Gladriel finally stopped singing and looked at aeveryon with their happy faces applauding her "Thank you..." she said and walked down off the stage to Shep and looked at his eyes smiling slightly (#1). She was slighlty panting from the singing she had done "Well that was fun and they seem to appreciate it... what did you think?" she asked her voice was happy and tone light and graceful just like she had moved through the crowd.

Gladriel laughed when she heard him and looked at him her eyes full of amuzement. She then looked around real quick and saw a cotton candy stand and games ''Come on..." she said grabbing his hand again and pulling along like a little child to the cotton candy place. (( yeah kinda want some kinda sugar involved... and sorry dad want to check the mail... his being an a** in the extreme amounts threatening to divorce mom... and s**t and I'm like you know what go ahead I don't ******** care cause I'm sick and tired of everything... he's the reason I have scars on my legs and head...))

Gladriel let out a small chuckle after paying for her cotton candy which was multi-colored "Very nice..." he said and saw a boomarang stand and smiled "one thing we're good at using..." she said but passed it and went to the archery stand next to it and grabbed a bow and five arrows. She concentraded on the bullseye and then let the arrow go and it hit the center of the bullseye then shot the other four making a heart with it "see we're pretty good..." she said smiling widely. (( I'll brb I need to take a shower I smell like dust and greasy hair... sad ))
