A girl walks a cross a frozen lake in hopes of finding something or someone...
She knows of the sacred veil that covers the lake. Her shadow-mother has told her it’s story for all of her 16 winters.
Her name is Kaelin and her Shadow-Mother, Raelin was all she ever knew her first 7 winters of life. By the age of 7 she was told in depth of the mysterious veil of the lake and that someday when she was ready all the knowledge of the kingdom would come to her. She was special, she was told. She never felt special before. But maybe today is the day.
Something was off today. Was it her time? Or should she be extra careful like Raelin had warned?

Yes! That is it. It will help me gain favor with not only the other contestants but also from those with power and money watching these games.

Her wardrobe with the doors so high and decorated with pink and white silk woven all the way to the top. She then saw her desk that doubles as a vanity. Young Corrine went to it and tried to remember all her cosmogolic routines. As she grabbed her favorite brush to apply, she noticed in her mirror her face was already beautifully painted and her beauty could not be matched. What is going on here? She asked herself when suddenly she was pulled away by an unknown source. It was strong and she could move except to breathe and even then it was labored. Where she was taken she did not know…
