[ENTER THE PALACE]

[You find yourself with a sensation like floating in water.]

[Above, the sky is dark. You can occasionally see things shifting, like gusts of wind, or perhaps waves of water. Is it…even a sky above you? Or is it some kind of giant ocean? Whatever it is, you can’t make it out very well. All around you, you appear to be floating in what appears to be water. It looks like a great, wide ocean of…space in every direction around you, with stars and lights twinkling in the distance. It looks like water and feels like water, but it doesn’t make you wet. You can reach your hand into it and pull some out, the purple and violet water and the tiny points of light inside it will even rest in your hands if you cup them to carry it, but once you’re not trying to hold it anymore, it’ll flow off of you, not a single drop remaining behind. You feel something similar if you go underneath the surface. The “water” doesn’t touch your eyes, mouth or nose when give the chance, it merely drifts around you, allowing you to breathe and see unabated. And you can see for a great distance, the twinkling stars illuminating the ocean of space all around you. Though perhaps less dark and empty, it feels every bit as vast as the sky above. You feel like you could swim forever and never reach the edge.]

[It’s quiet, here, with little noise around you but the starry ocean’s waves crashing back into its surface. It’s peaceful. In another situation, it might even be comfortable.]

...Her childhood?

You're her mother, right? Then that makes Agnis and Nessa your daughters?

Yes. Agnis is my oldest and Nessa my younger. There is also my son, Caesar, between the two of them.

I had Agnis and Caesar while I lived with my husband, in the country. I had Nessa...

[She sighs.]

In this coven.

Umm... this may be plain rude to say out loud. But...

You don't seem much older than Agnis.

Sigh.

[That wasn't a sigh, it was her saying the word "sigh" out loud.]

Vanity is one of my many vices. I use cosmetic magic to hold off the effects of aging on my body.

My eldest daughter thinks this is, and I am directly quoting her, "kind of stupid and regressive, mom." What 12-year old calls their mother regressive, I ask you.

Oh, that plain makes sense. But, you don't need to think of it as a vice. Who wouldn't want to plain look their best?
