The following days passed in a blur.

As expected, the media immediately got ahold of my visit to the children’s cancer ward. Before I could even blink, every newspaper was covered in headlines about the Silver Star healing all of those kids.

The dress was perfect. It was beyond perfect-it was everything I had hoped for and then some.

The black fabric was flecked with a silvery shimmer, the long sleeves coming down to sharp points at the back of my wrists A sheer silver drape was attached to the shoulders, flowing like a waterfall down my arms until it ultimately connected gracefully with my ring fingers.

I’d opted for an ankle length, just long enough for the silken fabric to gently flow around my legs when I moved but not long enough to cover my shoes, which were a pair of sleek metallic silver boots with an almost scaly texture.

And then there was,the finishing touch, carefully lowered over my head by Avis’s small hands. A pearlescent overlayer, which covered my bodice and came down to my ankles with splits down the sides.
