Mya Moon had been sitting by the window for hours now, watching the hazy clouds float above the sky before they disappeared behind a black, starry sky. Mya sat up straight in the large arm chair as she continued to stare at down at the lights being set up on the steps leading up to the castle. The beautiful candles with stone bases were being laid out along the edges of the wide steps all the way up to the wide open French doors.
Mya hadn't heard from Catalyna in a long time and so she was contemplating finding a Second Lady or Sir. But tonight was all about having the Gifted clan together for a Summer celebration. Mya had always attended the Welcoming of Spring celebration growing up, but lately she hadn't been able to tell the difference between Spring and Fall due to her being so busy.
So, tonight would be a Welcoming of Summer Celebration, although it had been summer for a while now. Mya felt she needed to relax and see the faces of her clan, after all, she hadn't seen anyone outside the castle grounds in weeks or even months depending on who you were. Mya stood up when a few of the girls who had been living in the castle for a while came in. She gave them all a wide smile before smoothing out her light blue dress.
Mya could already hear the voices of all the people in the castle. She had had most of the food prepared earlier in the day so that everyone in the castle would be able to attend tonight. There weren't many Gifted clan members like there used to be, so Mya expected the crowd would be smaller than it had been in the past few years. Mya looked down the hall and out the wide open front doors. The dark field surrounded a gravel path, illuminated with small floating flames of fire, courtesy of a few of the girls that were with her now. Looking at the two girls who were elementals, they didn't seem like they were concentrating on the flames but yet they had complete and other control over the flames out in the field. At least if the dry grass did catch on fire they could put it out quickly.
Mya walked over to the door where she stood in order to greet any Gifted who arrived. Mya looked at the girls for a moment before nodding her head and they immediately bolted toward the large ballroom that had been elaborately decorated. Mya hadn't opened the doors to that room almost since she became the Leader of the Gifted. Mya looked around at the other greeters before she stared off at the dimly illuminated path, waiting for Gifted to arrive.
