She let out a breath she hadn't realized she had been holding. "Oh it must be glorious to behold!" She turned back to her mystery companion. "So you dance for a living, but not with a partner?" Her eyes lit up with a sparkle inside. "Forgive me, I was raised to know how to dance. Shall I teach you? It's really quiet simple. We could even dance through the illusions the servant mentioned!" She felt almost giddy. She felt so close to home here.

Artemis looked at the two children, then at the door that just opened, then back again. "Uh." she stuttered. She knew nothing about her family, let alone that she had nieces. She was just supprised to know that her family knew she was alive. Everyone had assumed her dead long ago. "I would ask if I was they had a parent or two." She said carefully. She wasn't sure what this kid was saying, other than she was her niece. However, she didn't want to end up with taking care of children. Or do I? She thought. The question had never came into her mind before, and now it was staring her in the face.
Mia looked up at the butler as he opened the door. Her eyes widened as she began to wander towards it, almost creeping inside as if to not disturb any illusions that waited for her.

"Illusions?" Kutiel was clearly confused. "...Are they tangible? I thought they only existed in the mind... And yes, you can teach me to dance if you please." The wings of ice crystal bristled a little behind him in excitement, sending out a little wave of cold, but remained hidden behind his back.

"Perhaps," she said thoughtfully, "if they are well constructed by those who have mastered the art they shall appear as if real. Real enough to walk through..." Her cheeks grew a dim pink at the thought. "I have a guardian once, she was a mesmer, she always wished to be able to control them so." She extended her hand. "Shall we?"

Kiro only got a little bit into the Green Room, as he dubbed it, when the servant started to talk. "Interesting..." He follows his path back out and walked up the stairs. When he looked into the room, the servant was almost to the other side. He saw nothing. Until he stepped into the doorway.
As you approached the room, it looked like a normal, empty room. All there was in the room was a set of stairs on the far side, and somewhere near 25 tables scattered through out the room, with about 10 chairs around them. The round tables were huge, compared to normal sized ones. To either side, were huge glass windows, with normal size glass doors to go out onto balconies. In the middle of the room, which was opened, nothing danced on it's floors. Once you took a step into the doorway, everything came to life. Illusionary people danced an elegant ballroom dance, people were talking in the corners, and eating at the tables. Music erupted out of thin air while no musicians sung or played. As you step in for the first time, a voice enters your head, "Welcome to my party, have fun, and dont try to find anyone real among the guests in this room. Even the real people have falsified some ideals about themselves. But don't worry... make friends, if you can, and I'll be with you all shortly..." It somewhat ruined the occasion, but most people put it to the back of their mind as they continued onwards into the room.

Kutiel was surprised at first- He didn't know how he should respond to illusions and voices in his head, but he shrugged and accepted what the voice had said, believing it was harmless enough. "Did you hear that?" He asked, his voice trembling a little. "I guess there's no sense for fear and doubt..." He said, as he softly placed his hand in hers, waiting for her lead.
((I just noticed there are no icy/snowy places in water xD))

Mia's eyes widened as she entered the room. So many people and such a wonderful song to dance to. She went straight to the dance floor, dodging the illusion/real people. The voice was right, it was hard to tell. She wandered around slightly dancing and walking at the same time. I wonder if you can eat the food. She thought to herself. If they were illusions, only illusions could eat. But if they were real, only real people could eat, right? It was hard to tell. She shrugged off the thought and began to dance to the music that was apparently in her head, as there were no performers.

Mel was about to say something in return when she suddenly shut her mouth. She wasn't expecting this question, atleast not yet. A pained expression lit her face and she quickly dismissed it before anyone had too much time to notice. After a couple of minutes she finally blurted something out. "Their on vacation!" Mel lied quickly, she didn't want to tell Artemis that her parents were dead, not yet. "Yes, they are just going on vacation for a little while and are leaving Kil and Mil behind.." Mel's last words sounded lifeless. "Anyway, let's just forget about that for now." She smiled widely like everything was fine. She grabbed Artemis's hand and looked up at her. "Now, Aunt Artemis, what would you say if I said that me and Kel now are going to stay here with you for the time being?" She asked with an innocent smile.
Kel heard Mel say the words, the words saying that their parents were on vacation. Oh Mel.. She thought sadly. She walked over to Mel's side and stared at Artemis with big determined eyes. "Ms. Artemis, we would like to stay with you for the time being." She held Mel's hand even though Mel shook it off she still tried to hold it again.

((Well, with no ice visible on the map, we didn't make any ice places. Plus, there are plenty of empty islands that can be made into other places, it's just in time I guess.))
He entered the room, the illusions were fascinating, but all the same boring. It only looked like the attendance doubled in amount, and it was a quick clean up afterwards. He shrugged as the mask over his face changed, and ice formed on it, making it a full mask. small nodes of lights were incased in the ice, making it seem like jewels and gems were in it. So the mask is changing like the maker said. It was interesting in anyway.

Artemis looked between the twins. She panicked quickly inside as she realized that she was now to take care of them. She breathed in deeply and sighed. She looked between them again and smiled. "Looks like I don't have much of a choice, now do I?" She looked up at the doors, her mind wandering briefly. How am I going to do this?

Mel smiled. "Good, you picked the right answer." She grabbed Artemis's hand and started twirling around, faster and faster while Mel just laughed. Kel soon joined in but looked as if she was going to puke. Mel stopped when she sensed Mel's unease. She hugged her sister. "I'm so sorry Kel! I got so carried away!!" She sounded like she was practially in tears, she was very protective over her sister. While Mel's head was turned away from Artemis, she smiled happily. Mission complete.
Kel's mouth opened wide into a smile and tears of joy were falling down from behind her mask. "Thank you so very much Ms. Artemis!" She yelled with glee as Mel and Artemis were spinning, and soon she joined in with them. She laughed with Mel until she felt like she was going to puke. Kel looked over at Mel and showed her, her uneasy face. Mel suddenly stopped and was hugging her. "It's okay Mel, you just got a little carried away in the moment." Kel's eyes started to water again. She was such a cry baby.

Artemis looked around when Mel and Kel began to cry,laugh, spin, and almost puke. This was all new to her. She wasn't sure how to act. She looked back up at the opened doors and smiled. "Hey girls, would you like to go up to that room?" She asked them. She held out her free hand to Kel, who wasn't holding her hand already.

She put her hand in his and put his arm around her waist. "Now, we move like this." She took a few steps forward, back, to the side, and then the other, creating her own steps as she went along effortlessly. She began to guide them towards the illusion room as the feint orchestra music flowed around them. "So, will you tell me anything else about yourself?"

Kutiel followed through the motions with cautious grace. His wings grew slightly on his back, more crystals of ice appearing in mid-air and the web of blue energy that seemed to hold them together. It remained hidden- he didn't want her to see them -but he was subtly using them to help him keep his balance. He also seemed to float from step to step as a result. "Well..." He said. "...Is there much to say that isn't obvious? I was born in water, I lived... somewhere cold, and I entertain for a living."

"But what do you do to entertain? Preform? Do you juggle? Do you act?" Her eyes grew wider and wider with excitement as they passed through the mountain view of air's territory. "Can you swallow swords or walk tight ropes? Have you belonged to a circus?" Her mind was a buzz with excitement as she added new steps to their dance, ones that involved twirls and swirls that made her dress swoosh out.
