Ladies and gentlemen alike moved cautiously through the ballroom, music playing softly behind them, masks hiding their faces. 

Elegant dresses swirled along to clicking of heels and the march of suitors. 

King and Queen Silvene stood near the center of the room, lost in their own conversation as they danced, absentmindedly leaving their daughter and son to fend for their own in the ball.
