Nectar took a deep breath as she raised her head. Her hair was in a curly bun in the center of her head, curtsey of no one else but Liam. Athena had been nice enough to borrow her some really shiny gems.
They were tiny, tiny enough for her to stick to the right side of her face and giving it the appearance of a crescent moon. Reli had even surprised them when she offered to make alterations to one of the dresses they'd found in the luggage.
[ She really is an expert at shredding clothes though ] Matched with black stockings and the sturdiest white boots she could find. The dress was white with a ruffled ballerina like skirt. She had on black stocking like gloves to match.
Even the sweetheart neckline of her dress was covered in feathers as well as the ends of the skirt. She opened her eyes as she took a step forward [ Please work ] The familiar blue current split into four different parts, going in all directions of the water.
There was a cracking sound and a bit of white fog covered the surface. Nectar raised her left hand elegantly as the fog disappeared. There was even a large imprint of a snowflake on the now frozen water. She giggled to herself as she looked around her, " I can't believe that worked ".
She raised her other hand, lacing her hands together as she did a flip. As she landed back on her feet, the base of her shoes had been frozen over to mimic the blades of ice skates.
She could hear a few surprised gasps as she did a straight line glide, taking her to Liam as she smiled playfully. Talking off on her left foot, she spun off and did two complete rotations.
She was beginning to feel dizzy but that was the point of it. The dance was called 'Drunken Lover' because of all the spins she would end up doing. Trying to concentrate and not fall over was hard, so Nectar used her momentum to do whatever she could, she would sometimes stagger reminding her of someone drunk.
She spun past Archie with her hands bent at a ninety degrees and laughed, " Bye bye Archie ". Raising her left leg, she let herself tilt out to the edge and rested her weight on the right leg.
Coming to a stop, she stood before Eros and took a bow " Does your majesty like my surprise "? Eros seemed to be in a daze [ Was she always so beautiful? ] Then Dodwen touched his shoulder and snapped him out of it, " What do you think Eros "?
He nodded with a satisfied smile [ What's gotten into me? ] " I love it. I love it very much ". Nectar resisted the urge to show her disgust as she skated back and away from him. Doing a few circular step sequences, she could tell everyone was mesmerized.
Doing a camel spin, she locked eyes with Bonsi and they smiled at each other. Suddenly lifting her already raised leg higher, she did a spiral sequence where her left leg was higher than her hip [ I didn't think that'd work. I'm so flexible ]
That seemed to surprise everyone but she suddenly let go, shifting her weight to the leg formally in the air and went down low, doing a really fast sit spin three times. She laughed happily as she began seeing stars [ I forgot how much fun this was ]
Acting like she was about to fall over, she did a lay back spin and flipped over again. Spinning in no specific pattern, she did a series of upright spins. She couldn't help but laugh as she did, the feeling was familiar and she felt like she was in a pinball machine.
Still spinning, she spread her arms out wide and what appeared to be rope formed out of her hands. Still spinning, she managed to sight the kids and smiled " Wanna see something fun "?
They immediately cheered, their excitement contagious and she raised her hands high. Taking another deep breath, she acted like they were whips [ I'm so draining myself ]
As the whips made contact with the ice around her, it made tiny holes in the water and made it look like tiny fountains. Waving them again, the water froze instantly. The whips in her hands disappeared and she glided forward, the ice exploding around her.
The ice went around her, following behind her as she skated. Some of it settled near all the gazebos and she spun to a stop in the center of the water. She smiled as she slowly raised her hands high over her head, " I hope that my dance brings us all what we deserve. That we have peace for the next ten years and more ".
She clapped her hands and everything exploded. The ones near the gazebos turned into roses while the image of a clock appeared overhead. That made everyone clap. The clock Nectar just made was the symbol of Othorne, father of time, as well as the father of the gods living in Ionnis.
The roses were the symbol of Nattiroy, mother of nature and mother of the gods as well. Everyone clapped loudly as Nectar breathed heavily, already tired. She was beginning to fill dizzy as she fell back on to the ice.
Everyone was worried but Nectar quickly raised her hand up and gave a thumbs up, laughing tiredly " I'm okay..... but I think I'll just lie down here for a bit ".
