((Sorry for the silence-bank Holiday weekend and then a day off sick!))I looked around at the scene before my eyes in the grand hall. The masquerade ball was certainly taking off and looking like a lot of fun. I heard Krys and Iris before I saw them, their harmonious and beautiful voiuces complimenting one another perfectly. hen I saw something that made my heart flutter and a huge grin threaten to overwhelm my whole face. They were in each others' arms! I looked back at Kimmy, who was almost dancing on the spot and started to murmur under my breath.
The Ranger's Ballad
I could lose myself in your eyes, my love
As we dance the old dance of lovers past
Just melt into your arms, 'neath the heavens above
For a moment, forget my eternal task
I could hold you forever, and never let go
Keep you safe from all harm in this strangest of worlds
Just linger a moment, that I might just show
The love that lies waiting, within to unfurl
I could rest for a lifetime, feeling your caress
At the end still yearning for another light touch
These moments so rare, I can only guess
If there will be another sweet moment to clutch
I would love you eternally, if only I could
Throw off this great mantle of leader and led
I'd sweep you away, where no one could intrude
Oh, just for a moment, these dreams let me tread.
They were so close together, I could see their lips almost touching. It was as if the light of a thousand stars had landed in Sheila's eyes as she danced with the man she loved. Then, without warning, the fanfare sounded and the mood was broken. Oh well, I thought, plenty of time yet, and maybe the chance to have a little more fun.
I joined the hall in the collective bow as Princess Diana entered, wondering if now we'd be able to find out a little more about her relationship with Venger.
((Hope this isn't too late-just ignore if it is!))
