As you step into the ballroom, a wave of opulence washes over you, enveloping your senses in a symphony of sights, sounds, and scents. The vast expanse of the room stretches out before you, adorned with lavish decor and sparkling chandeliers suspended from the lofty ceiling. The air is alive with the soft murmur of conversation, punctuated by the melodic strains of a live orchestra drifting from a distant corner.
The walls are draped in rich fabrics, their hues ranging from regal crimson to deep indigo, adding warmth and depth to the space. Gilded mirrors line the walls, reflecting the flickering candlelight and multiplying the room's splendor tenfold. Intricate frescoes and ornate moldings adorn the ceiling, depicting scenes of myth and legend that seem to dance and come alive in the soft glow of the chandeliers.
The polished marble floor gleams underfoot, its surface smooth as glass and cool to the touch. Elaborate patterns and intricate designs are etched into its surface, forming a labyrinth of geometric shapes that seem to lead you deeper into the heart of the ballroom. As you move further into the room, you catch glimpses of couples twirling gracefully across the dance floor, their movements fluid and effortless as they glide to the rhythm of the music.
The scent of exotic flowers fills the air, mingling with the heady aroma of fine wine and perfumed bodies. Crystal vases overflowing with roses and lilies are scattered throughout the room, their petals vibrant against the backdrop of muted hues. Servers dressed in livery weave gracefully between the guests, offering trays laden with delicacies and libations fit for royalty.
At the far end of the ballroom, a dais rises above the crowd, adorned with velvet draperies and golden tassels. Here, at the centre sits Archon Demetrius, surrounded by other nobles and dignitaries looking over the event. Scattered about the event are members of The Eyes, most blending in and inconspicuous, but some wearing their black uniforms. There are also thirty-two cats mingling around, accompanied by servants in charge of the cat’s care.
In the heart of the ballroom, beneath the shimmering canopy of chandeliers, lies the dance floor – a stage set for romance and revelry, where dreams are spun and destinies are forged. Here, amidst the swirl of music and motion, you feel as if you've stepped into a fairy tale come to life, where anything is possible and the night is filled with endless enchantment.
