STORY STARTER
Write a story that takes place entirely in a ballroom, but not during a ball.
Set the action in a ballroom. It could be present day during a visit, historical, or maybe something magical happened that took your characters there?

As I walked into the ballroom I admired the beautiful mosaics in gold and other fine jewels that made up the walls and floor of the room. It was exactly as it had been in my dream the night before. I couldnât help but notice the subtle rain patter on the roof that made a pleasing environment in the quiet ballroom.
I walked around and had deja vu from my dream. I had been dancing with a stranger ...
ESCAPE PLAN
Written by Queen Nerva and King Redfal
Advised by Louisa Lace, Official Royal Doctor
Witnessed by Mr. Nevyle, Official Royal Personnel
The Royal children, Covelle, Adella, Kent, Halina, Amerie, and Spade, are the best hope for the kingdom. If an attack occurs, all possible heirs flee in various but mapped out places. This procures the most favorable outcome of all or as many of the...
âI think we need to go,â Cove said, tugging on Louisaâs hand that felt like a death grip. She stood rooted in place.
The heavy ballroom doors busted open with so much force the chandeliers rattled, shaking the tiny light rays. Soldiers with no distinguishing emblems poured into the room. Cove and Louisa were farthest from the source of overpowering warriors.
Her hand instinctively pulled out her...
The ballroom was huge. Just his luck. But the ballroom was not only huge but painted in crimson. Crimson blood. Adrian stood there transfixed on the body. Twisted all the wrong angles. A woman dressed stood tall just over the body. The woman crossed the room the heels of her boot echoing on the hard wooden floor. The sound reverberating through the high ceiling ballroom. She reached him within a c...
(I think Iâll only be posting two more parts and then I might stop regularly posting for this series. I will probably post stories within this universe though, but I donât want the âpressureâ to post all the ideas I have. The pressure is entirely from myself.)

Dancing with Thorne made up for all the dances with the random men who she didnât know but was expected to agree to marry. She knew the...
(I just love writing about Kent and Flent! Next will be Cove.)
âââ
Ever since their first meeting, they talked at every gala. Cove must have noticed them both gone at the same time or her magical ability of knowing everything because she adamantly threw out Flentâs name as a regular at events.
âYou should come to Gallia someday. You would love it. I would love to see you there. It is the best p...

Three years agoâŚ.
âMind if I join you?â Someone snapped Kent out of his quiet moment. Kent was sitting on the ground with his arms resting on his bent knees, taking a breather from the gala. His parents pushed for Cove to meet new men hence the gala. None good enough for his sister. All of them vied...
(Kentâs perspective)

When talking and joking around with his sisters, he momentarily forgot how stuffy the ballroom could get. You would think with the huge open space it would allow for sufficient airflow.
It did not.
Stepping out of the room became a habit for him during these galas. Just a moment to breathe.
In and out. In and out. In and out.
He rested his back against the cool marbl...
SoooooâŚ..I didnât realize that I took Spadeâs perspective that would have been this next part and released it as Star Prince. There is a little part that came before it that didnât fit into the word limit, so I added it below. Also, More Than Blood (Part 0.5) takes place right before Spade talking to Mr. Nevyle. At the end of 0.5, Queen Nerva has the conversation with Spade and Mr. Nevyle that occ...
(Here is Hale! Spade is next.)
âââ
King Everett and the General of the Allaverâs army were discussing training and roped her into it, and she wanted to rip her ears off. Talking was not her strong suit, especially about training. While training made her feel alive, describing it to someone made no sense to her. Why talk when she could just show the results of practicing?
âHale is one of the best...
