Nerves were high as three women made their way down the path toward the Dancing Wind's Man hall . All three ladies were sweeping down the path at a slow and graceful pace . Princess Raina was fiddling with the bow on her dress . Kyera smiled at her and knelt down, smiling at Raina as she straightened the bow and readjusted the dress on the child's hips .
Advertisement"Beautiful girl, you really must stop toying with the bow, it twists it on your frame . " Kyera chided her lightly . The beautiful purple fabric was light and flowing around the Princess's slender frame . The lowest layer of the dress fell to her knees but two thin, sheer silver layers lay over the top creating a flowing skirt around the Princess's legs . The material was flexible and swayed with her walk . Kyera smiled as the bow sat properly on her waist . The top was settled off her shoulders but the wrap around her chest was embroidered with beautiful flowers that were thick at her waist . Lower on the dress however only a few were scattered as if those cherry blossoms were falling and dancing down the dress .
"I know . " Raina replied sheepishly, her eyes cast to look at the ground beside her . Kyera smirked softly, using a finger to lift her chin .
"Princess Raina, what do you have to be nervous of? These people are here to impress you and become your Mother . If they aren't nice to you they can leave . Your a proud princess and should act like it . " Kyera reminded her gently, as she pulled a hair pin out of her hair and slicked a wayward strand back before pinning it again .
"What if I don't want them as my Mother? What if they don't play, or read books with me? Maybe they don't like teaching me things or fixing my hair . How will I know who is a good Mother and who is faking it?" Raina asked her little eyes filled with worry . Kyera sighed, knowing all too well what the child wanted . She herself had harbored such dreams as a girl .
"Raina, even if she doesn't like to read or play with you or do your hair you will always have me, Okay? Just help find someone you like being around . The rest will work itself out . " Kyera reassured her as she met Raina's troubled blue pools . She looked about as anxious as her father had . Kyera stood and smoothed her own skirt around her waist and adjusted the stockings on her lower legs .
"Promise?" Raina asked honestly just wanting to hear the reassurance and Kyera smiled .
"Who better to have your back than the one who believes in you?" Kyera replied with another gentle smile . There was a fiery confidence in her eyes that melted away the child's uncertainty . Taking her hand, the pair walked together into the Palace hall .
