The look on Yon-Rogg’s face could have been described in several ways, though confused and slightly anxious would probably have been the closest to it. He was a military man, one that wore uniforms and went into war and on mission rather than dress up in a nice tux with a bow-tie and all, accompanying Valeera to one of those fancy galas he only ever listened about as a little child. The whole situation was something he couldn’t control, and that on itself made him anxious. He didn’t know how to behave, or what to do for that matter. Perhaps he could just be there to keep an eye on Valeera. 

“So... how do these events work?” he asked the Princess almost uncertainly after they were announced and let inside.

                            The Gardens are now open to guests !!

Throughout the evening, a large set of doors in the throne room has been closed with a pair of guards in front of them. Now that the sun has begun to set on Spring Valley, though, the same satyr that announced the beginning of the magic displays has taken to standing on the balcony overlooking the main hall.

“ Dearest guests! “      he calls, and both the band and current display of magic come to a pause.      “ The queen would like to formally invite each of you to join her in the castle gardens to view the night blooms! “      Without another word, the announcer turns on his hoof and leads you and your peers through the throne room to the doors that have now been opened, leading out into a garden that stretches as far as the eye can see.

As you step outside, you see Queen Gwenaël, standing off to the side of a large stone fountain in the center of what appears to be the main courtyard.     “ Welcome, my dearest friends, “      she begins, bowing to you before motioning out to the vast ranges of flowers, some of which you recognize from your own home-world intermingled with straight stalks that do not have any visible blooms on them at all.     “ I wish for you to see all of the splendors that my home possesses, among them what we here call the night blooms. “

The suns continue to set behind the queen, and as it grows darker, those stalks that had previously been bare, begin to glow and split open at their tips. Some glows are a deep violet, while some a pale blue, and others off in the distance a fair white that you can see sparkles emitting from. All in all, the entire field has begun to shine.       “ Please explore at your leisure, my friends! “

Mama had fairies?!

They were just like little fireflies....

                                    The Soiree has officially begun !!

As you enter the castle’s large crystal entryway, you can already hear the music playing from the center of the room, where a band of fauns and satyrs are elevated on a circular rotating platform. A pair of soldiers dressed in silver armors bows to you and welcomes you to Spring Valley’s castle on behalf of the queen. The hall is large enough to accommodate thousands of people comfortably and has a long table of various snacks and finger foods along one of the walls. A large bar with a finely dressed satyr behind the counter is at the back of the hall, with a mass wall of shelves bearing any drink your heart could fancy (and a visible magical spell keeping the necessary ones cold). There is apt space for dancing of all kinds, socializing, and a small stage similar to the band’s set up, but presently empty. Above the bar and extending to either side of the hall is a split staircase with a balcony overlooking the hall itself, and you can clearly see that there is more to see and do up those stairs.
