The beauty on the surface....
Posted: Tue Jun 06, 2006 10:41 am
Quietly running a hairbrush through her long, inkblack strands of her hair, Misjilah is gazing at the long mirror infront of her.
The mirror seems pricey, especially for an elder like her. It is edged with silver, with patterns laid in with gold. It is decorated with flowers and leaves, only elaborating it's beauty. And there she sits, Misjilah, gazing upon the mirror and her own reflection.
The lady has aged a lot, seen in the wrinkles on her skin, so aged and worn down. Her hands crumpled up, thinned. Yet her greyblue eyes, emotionless and cold, still gaze sternly at the mirror. Those eyes....They were once called the orbs of eloquence by a prince in the lands abroad. Oh how much he had desired her, Misjilah. But no love she felt for him, and she quickly left those lands in search for more. But that was 3000 years ago, when her beauty was still renowned.
She lays down her brush for a moment, gliding a hand through her hair. The elfess seems undisturbed in her room upon Vanima. The winds rustle through the leaves of the trees outside. Yet she does not seem to notice, or atleast not care. She lays her hands in her lap, stroking with the fingers of her right hand over the back of the left.
Those 3000 years, and never had she tried to cure herself. Yet it was within reach so often. She should not have waited so long. But all is well now, and the cure shall soon be applied.
No longer an aging being in a dying world, no. Soon she will rule with firm hand once more, make the world breathe again. No longer just beauty on the inside, excellence on the inside, no, the beauty on the surface will be back. The world shall be stunned...
