XXX The person that had to wake up Astrid Willow Cramulos Meave Cucullati, also knows as The Princess of Flesh and Air was a un-lucky person in deed.. You see, Astrid was not a early riser; she liked to sleep in. Actually, she liked to sleep away the day and stay up all night. The night called to her, calling her sweet names and taunting her with the cruelest of tortures; showing her something she could never have.. That little subject is reserved for a later date.. Now, back to the peasant that has the unlucky luxury of waking up little Miss Cucullati. The person had to migrate through a large marble doorway that had a few thick curtains hanging from the ceiling. The curtains were black thick, heavy and took two people to hold up one side. Past the thick curtains were thin sheets of crimson silk. Each was nearly see through, but piled the way they were, you could not see anything but light; and if you stopped.. you just might get lost in all the fabric. Once through all the thick fabric and through the silk, you would be gobsmacked by the beauty of the room. A ceiling so high that it did not look like their was a ceiling. Walls that
looked like the room was carved from the ground its self. Even though they looked bright, shinning and perfect.. They were sharp, jagged and would slice through anything put against them; even it was barely touching the wall. In the middle of a room was a huge bed, bigger then two kind size beds put together. It was round and looked like it was made for a god.. Which.. it was.. Cascading down from the ceiling, was lengths and lengths of sheer coal-black cloth swirling down and piling in large mounds around the bed. The bed was not just a large piece of cushion. It was thousands of different sized pillows. Large, small and medium; all where either a black darker then night or crimson that was brighter then blood. Each was stark against the one next to it. Light gray fur coverlet were here and there. In the very center of the bed was a bundle of blankets so large it looked more like a giant was sleeping there instead of a woman.
(( yes.. zeik.. i remembered the old rp and used your idea! ^.^ ))
Nothing else was in the room, there was need for anything else. There were plenty shower chambers in the castle, why would she need one in her room.. Also, she has another room just down the hall, full of different kinds of clothing made from very different kind of cloth. Some of which can only be found in Delancey.

The bundle in the middle bed roared to life when a small woman softly called out to wake the being under the ball.. The ball suddenly flew up and to the side, missing the woman by merely a centimeter, moving so quickly the only thing that was seen, heard or felt; was a gust of wind blowing her hair to the side. A raspy voice echoed through the darkness..
'you know not to wake me'.. the woman was trembling at the sheer hatred in the voice that was floating around the room, the woman voice was creaking as she said
"Koli was awaiting your presence in the dinning hall" Then.. she turned and ran.. The curtains blew open as the woman ran past them, then slammed shut; looking as if they were never touched. Slowly something grew bigger and bigger in the middle of the large cushioned bed. That being.. was Astrid Willow Cramulos Meave Cucullati, and today.. was not going to be a good day for anyone in Delancey. Slowly, she crawled from the cushions, her gown catching along every large cushion she crawled over. Soon enough, the curtain parted to reveal the unmistakable goddess Astrid. Flaming crimson hair cascaded in waves from the top of her head down her shoulders, nearly hitting her mid-back. Lighting blue eyes were slowly shown as her eye lids slowly opened. Eyes darting around the room, knowing nothing was there, she just liked to see everything.. What was the point of having eyes if one didn't use them? Pale feet dropped to the floor, the floor length gown-like nightie dropped down long pale legs and hitting the floor, balling around her feet like the curtain around the bed did. Slowly, she stretched a low giggling noise rolled through her.. It was a soft noise and it defiantly was nothing like one would assume it was.. It rolled through her chest, rattling here and there.. Mixing with her mind.. with the sickness that resting inside of it.. making it evil and sadistic sounding. A giggle that would send even the toughest of men down crying mommy. Smiling a evil little grin, she slowly walked out the room. Each step was soft, making no noise at all.. When one can control air, one never has to touch the ground. Unless.. she wanted too.. and Astrid did not want to touch the ground..
Moving through the halls, Astrid walked in the middle of it. If anyone had to move down the hall, they would plaster their selves against the wall.. If someone was in her way.. well.. Lets just say.. tend to not be seen again.. After enough people go missing.. everyone learns. As she entered the dinning hall, she took in the sight of the large room. The walls were almost like water trapped forever flowing through the walls. The table was set in its usual manner, gold trimmings and way to many plates and utensils. Spotting her brother, her faltered, dark blue robs with gold trimming..
"Oh Brother, you almost match the decor."
Astrids voice rose and fell in a sing -songy manner, some times light, sometimes deep. Yet, the entire time.. it was haunting and would send shivers through any one that was not godly enough to hear it.. her steps quickened enough to walk to his side a little sooner. Leaning and kissing her dear brother on the forehead before taking her place on the left side of him. Ankles crossing, her hands in her lap.. Today.. She would be sadistic.. in a lady-like way.. How that was possible? Who knew.. but this little goddess could pull it off.
( the dress she is wearing is the one in the picture, it is floor length ))
