Dreams Of The Past Part 2 by Lady Siofra

Part2 ___________________________________________________

The quiet moment was soon broken as the door opened. Her head jerked to look and soon found the face of another girl. This girl looked simply human and looked upon the still confused pointed eared woman.

"Good morning m'Lady Sierra... " It was as those word were they kept to an over filled closet. At once the previous memories crashed up on her. She stumbled and the maid rushed over to catch her.  the warm skin jolted her with a familiar feeling, and a name.

"Thank you Keela.." she said softly as she was steadied. She could see the worry in the girl's eyes and could feel a warmth in her soul. She gently caressed her head. the girl was shorter than her. Her hair was a lovely auburn, and cheek rosy with health with a touch of freckles. Those eyes that gazed up to her were as the early morning blue skies.  "I'm well now. " Sierra remembered to say.

She could see Keela relax and move swiftly to a closet to bring her clothing. The outfit was lavish, and dated, there was a feel of perhaps the Renaissance and a touch of fantasy.  The girl moved with grace, gentleness, and speed. Even the tugging of the corset felt barely noticeable. She turned to look in the mirror as she flowed like water to the slow and her shoulders were bare, but sleeves were attached to the chemise of silver. the gown and corset were dark indigo which the color only show in light danced upon the fabric. It was a slim fit that moved comfortably.

She nodded to her maid "good work girl, have they been waiting long?" She looked back to the girl and another pang was felt in her heart, as if it knew something she didn't.

The girl lowered her head slightly " not long M'Lady, as you bade me to awaken you when they arrived." She then lifted her eyes with respect to let Sierra know she was attentive. There was something else the girl wanted to say, but it disappeared quickly, as if her duty overrode what she wished to convey. "Shall I announce you M'lady and prepare the tea?"

As much as Sierra wished to ask, something told her to wait. "Do so Keela, and remember no mistakes, I picked you because I know your skills."

Keela dipped into a curtsy "yes M'lady, and right away" she awaited the dismissal before slipping out the door.
