In a short while, the maid, Sophia, had helped Nessa prepare. Nessa’s rooms were not far from Charlie’s tower. It was a room with cream-colored walls and large mullioned windows that overlooked the palace lake, which was a deep blue. The bed was large, and had a pile of soft pillows and a plush down comforter on it. Nessa looked at herself in the full-length mirror. She barely recognized herself.

The gown that she wore was a deep emerald color. It had a full, satin skirt and a tight-fitting bodice. Her hair was pulled into a neat chignon, and her makeup was flawless—gold eyeshadow, a touch of bronzer, pale pink lipstick. To top it off, Sophia brought out a simple diamond teardrop pendant on a gold chain. Nessa placed her hand on top of it. It was delicate, the perfect accent. Nessa felt the soft satin of the dress, hugging her midsection tightly.

“You look marvelous, my lady,” Sophia said.

“You certainly can work some magic, Sophia,” Nessa replied. There was a knock at the door.

“I’ll get it,” Sophia said, walking to the door. She opened it, revealing Charlie, who looked rather flustered. He wore a black tuxedo, his hands covered in white silk gloves.

“Don’t you look charming, your majesty,” Sophia said.

“Ah, thanks,” Charlie said, clearly uncomfortable. “Can I come in?”

“Certainly,” Nessa said. He entered, rubbing the back of his head so that his hair stuck up in the back. “Is everything alright?”

“Ah, yes. No. You look… fantastic,” he said in rapid succession. Nessa smiled at him.

“So do you,” she replied. “Do the gloves help?” He looked down at his gloved hands.

“A little,” he said. “Sometimes visions are activated by touch. Other times, it’s just by proximity.” Nessa studied him for a moment.

“Can you read my mind?” She asked. He laughed, a sharp bark.

“No,” he said. “I can just feel the alternate fabrics of the universe.”

“How so?”

“There are threads which weave the fates of the universe together,” he explained. He was staring at the carpet as he thought about it. “I can see the way that they fit together. I can see the way that they are being affected by different things that are happening. I can see how they are being manipulated by different individuals.”

“That is quite a gift,” Nessa said.

“It’s a bit of a curse sometimes,” he said, looking at her. She could see how exhausted he was—how apprehensive of going out and being among people he felt.

“If you want, you can stick with me,” she offered. He smiled.

“I’d like that,” he said. “They’re all really awful, you know.”

“I expected as much,” Nessa replied. “I know how power can go to people’s heads. I do work at the university, you know.” She placed her hand on Charlie’s arm. She could feel tendrils of electricity emanating from his touch. He was holding it back. He had a strong control over his gift. But she could tell that it was a constant battle for him.

“Wait, miss!” Sophie cried out. “Shoes!” Nessa laughed.

“Of course!” She exclaimed.
