[Scintilla]

She was bothered by the pushing and pulling the maids were doing. One moment her snow white hair was being arranged in fancy ringlets, and the next, it was being straightened with flowers dotted through it. A corset was also being forced onto her, with the maids arguing what type would suit her better. And why was so much fuss being made? Of course, because it was the girl's eighteenth birthday, and she wasn't just a girl. She was the princess who was supposed to be in the parade later today.

Her pink-red eyes flickered to the window, where she could see many people gathering outside the gates already, dressed in the finest garb they had. The young woman giggled a little, which resulted in her maids grumbling at her and telling her not to move. Which was pretty much impossible for her.

After a good hour, the girl was finally finished with preparing. The maids stepped back, satisfied with their work, " You look beautiful, princess. "

It's always Princess.

Did she even have a name?, wondered the girl who had lost the truth because she was told lies. Did she even have a future?

As she started to delve deeper into her mind, her trail of thought was interrupted by the maids once more, ushering out the door and towards her father's room for him to critique.

Once she entered, the young woman was immediately intimidated by her father's piercing red eyes and white hair. His ears were a pure snow white, the same as hers. However his cold stars was completely different. He looked the girl over, scrutinizing her straightened hair with the flowers, the gossamer like pale blue gown that reached down to her knees, and the various decorations the maids had adorned her with. After a few moments, he finally nodded yes.

The princess was then sent down towards the chamber where she would wait for the parade to start, and was left there alone. She sat there and just waited, bored out of her wits. Then she had an idea. It was still early, so why not go for a walk? Liking this idea, the girl cautiously opened the door that led outside the castle, towards the forest, and slipped out.
