He wasn't so outwardly different, but it'd been foretold that one such as him would soon join them. She could only hope he was the one to bring about the change to her kingdom she desperately needed.<br/><br/>Her dress skimming the floor, the aqua color lit up her skin, adding a subtle shimmer to her, creating an ethereal glow despite her tan color. Eyes like the sea after a storm, they were a deep blue, stormy as her emotions. Dark hair drifted across her shoulders, skimming across her skin, as she turned away from the window, falling between her shoulder blades as she remained deep in thought.<br/><br/>It was something like this that both worried her and excited her. She was never sure what to expect. They'd had people who'd come forward, claiming to be something they weren't. Each time, it led to disappointment. A cloak draped over her shoulders, hood pulled up as she left the castle, entering her hover car. Telling the driver where to go, she sat back, watching the sights pass her by, the sky scrapers rising, looking to actually kiss the sky with their impressive heights, the sunlight gleaming off each surface.<br/><br/>Slowly, it pulled to a stop where she'd been told the newcomer lingered. Her driver got out, pulled open her door, and she stepped out, her small protective lingering a few paces behind her. Her eyes found the Scif, glimmering from beneath the hood.<br/><br/>"Welcome..." she greeted him, dropping her hood as she extended her other hand. "I'm Princess Elisa Maria. What brings you here?"<br/><br/>She could certainly see what they were talking about, how he was different than anyone around, though not overly so. A certain otherworldly quality lingered around him and it intrigued him. But, far be it for her to dote on him if he weren't who she hoped for. Better to cut to the chase now.
