Ruby's village stays confined to a forest that surrounds the village. No one would dare to attempt to escape.
Wolves stalk the woods and anyone who has ever left as ended up dead. They are trapped within a forest with the wolves circling. To keep th...
He pushed Celeste forward. "Lyell tell Xerxes that I left for Lucia's. I have cooked dinner and it's on the stove." With that Court pushed Celeste forward as we trotted off to Lucia's garden.

Lucia was outside when we arrived. She was out in her garden picking some crops when she looked up and smiled. Next to her an animal pelt was drying. Court rode up and got off Celeste and tied him up to the post.
"Hello Court." Lucia said as she came over and Court smiled.
"Good evening Lucia, I came to pick up the dress." Court said as he helped me off Celeste before turning to Lucia. We went up to her as Court held my hand in his.
Lucia nodded as we went inside her house. Inside she had numerous clothing spread out amongst her furniture. "Seems you have a lot of work on your hands." Court commented and Lucia laughed.
"Lotus asked me to make her a dress and Lycidas came over as well. I'm making a lot of clothing for the two packs." Lucia smiled as she walked over and began digging through. "I just finished Ruby's dress today. I knew you'd be here before Lotus would, so I worked on Ruby's all last night along with Lotus's. Here is the dress." Lucia turned around holding silver and blue dress.
It was made of a shimmering material and had flower and snow details laced throughout it. "I made a cloak to go with it as well, it's similar to yours but in blue." Lucia handed Court the dress before going over and picking up a blue cloak.
Like she said it was like mine except the inside was lined with white fur. She handed the cloak over to me which I accepted. "Thank you." I murmured and Lucia nodded.
"Will you be at the solstice feast tomorrow?" Court asked Lucia who looked over.
"I've never missed one and I don't intend too anytime soon. It's on our land this year isn't it?" Lucia asked and Court nodded.
Lucia smiled as Court looked over at me. "Thank you for making the dress Lucia. I'll see you tomorrow." Court told Lucia who smiled as we went out. Court folded the dress and placed it in the saddle bag along the cloak she had made.
Court lifted me up and placed me on Celeste before he got up and we returned home.

"Do you need help trying it on?" Court asked as I looked at the dress in my hands.
My staring at it wasn't that I didn't know how to put it on, it was how beautiful it was. Since coming here I have been given some of the most beautiful clothing, but this dress tops all of it with ease.
The material was a shimmering color and semi see-through. "Um, if you want." I murmured as Court came over and took the dress from me.
"Undress." Court told me and I removed my current dress as he came over. His amber eyes ran over me before he shook his head, gathered the dress, and placed it over me. He pulled it down as I smoothed the dress out. Court took a step back before standing behind me in the mirror. He pulled out the cloak and wrapped it around my shoulders. "You look beautiful." Court commented as he cinched the cloak.
I stared at my reflection. "Red is more of my color." I commented and Court smiled.
"Red is a color more for the summer solstice. I'm sure I can get a red dress made for you then." Court told me and I turned to him.
"You celebrate the summer solstice as well?" I asked.
Court smiled. "We celebrate a few holidays besides that, but the solstice are the most important ones to us. Winter solstice is for cool colors such as this, summer solstice you can have red, orange, and all the warm colors in it as summer is warm." Court told me running his hands through my hair.
I stared at him before letting out a small smile. I turned back around before taking the cloak off. "Can I take a bath?" I asked him.
"Of course, take the dress of and I'll run it for you while you get undressed." Court told me as he disappeared into the bathroom. I turned back to the mirror and smiled as I removed the dress before setting it down for tomorrow. The feast would be tomorrow.
I had no idea how long the feast would be or even when it would start. But I had faith in Court. I took a deep breath before heading into the bathroom where Court was filling the tub with warm water. I waited until he had all the water in.
"Enjoy." Court told me before he left me alone to take the bath. I smiled as I got in and sank into the water ready to enjoy my bath.
