I stand in front of a tall long-length looking glass, staring at my reflection in awe. Shifting from one foot to the other to ease my tender ankle, I cannot help but reach out to touch the looking glass to peer more closely at who has become mistakenly myself. “Is this truly me?” I asked, baffled that a beautiful gown could transform my looks almost naturally as if I had been born and made to wear this dress.

Marymagglyn finishes lacing up the back of the gown and peers over my shoulder, giving my reflection a smile. “Truly a vision, milady,” she whispers, standing back to admire my backside. I shuffle sideways to get a better look, then glanced down at my stockinged feet.

“I cannot wear shoes, my ankle is too swollen. I had trouble getting the riding boots off my calf,” I whisper, feeling a tad bit sad.

“Not to worry, you will not be needing shoes. My lord plans to escort you around all evening,” Marymagglyn says with a nod of her head.

I glance back at the looking glass, once again in awe of myself. Running my fingers against the silk material, it feels soft and cool to the touch. The dress I am wearing is tightly cinched around the waist, but flares out in an oval shape where the hem of the egg-blue fabric touches the floor. The neckline dips low enough to reveal a mound of flesh but giving away nothing but a modest appearance. Small little stitching designs of flowers trace along the outer skirt, looking like dancing flowers swaying to the music. “It is simply breathtaking,” I whisper.

“You are truly a beautiful moon flower,” I hear a deep voice say and turn my gaze to the looking glass reflecting the chamber door where the beastly prince awaits with a sparkle in his blue eyes.
