《Sway(Wattys 2015)》I want it

As soon as the doors were open and I had walked in, my jaw was almost touching the floor. There were dresses everywhere, racks were filled with different coloured gowns in all different lengths. I looked over to Tasha who was almost in tears.
"Hello and welcome to Blossom, I'm Olivia" she greeted, me and Tasha just smiled in response.
"Hello Olivia, I'm Miss Jones, I'm here for an appointment ,I believe Paris has reserved some dresses" miss jones said.
"Oh of course, right this way" she lead the way and we followed.We were lead through some double doors, just when I thought it couldn't get any better there were more dresses but this time they looked more expensive.
"It's Rogue isn't it " Olivia questioned
"Yes and my friend Tasha"
"Since it's for a special occasion nothing but the best will do"
"How do you know?" I ask
"I'm a vampire , Paris is a good friend of mine.She told me that she would be needing a dress so here you are "
"I have a few dresses here that she wants you to try on if you don't like them it's fine there's plenty more to try on, the bill has been taken care off , so today yourself ,Tasha and Miss jones will be leaving with a dress,shoes,mask and accessories.Am I right?"
"I won't be attending the ball "Miss Jones corrected
"Paris assured me that you would also be needing a dress" she corrected.
"If you all would like to step into the changing rooms , me and my assistant will pass the dresses through" we all nodded our heads and walked into the large ,white dressing rooms.
The first dress was handed to me ,it was a black fish tale dress.It looked amazing on but it I wasn't sure if it was suitable for the event. I stepped out of the dressing room to show the others.

"That looks amazing Rogue!" Tasha complimented.She was wearing a peach puffy dress. Miss jones had on a blue dress.
"You both look great " I complimented.
"I don't know, this isn't the one for me" i said
"Yeah me neither " Tasha agreed
We all returned to the dressing room for the next dress. This time I stepped out in a white lace dress.
"I don't like this one " I confessed
"This is to young for me" Said Miss Jones
All of a sudden the room was filled with Tasha's scream. She came running out in an amazing navy blue, one sleeved dress. I knew by looking at her face that she wanted that dress.
"This is it , i love it!" She squealed
"You look to die for Tasha , you should get It" I said and Miss Jones nodded her head in agreement.
I was now trying on the 5th dress , it was a violet coloured dress. And yet again I didn't think it was the one I wanted to wear. But I still came out of the room.
"I want this one" said miss jones in a glittery black dress, it looked great on her body and it was perfect for a age.
"You look amazing "
"You've tried on all the dresses Paris picked out, all of our best dresses have been taken by the other women attending the event, you can look around but I don't think you'll find anything that will really stand out" Olivia apologised.
"But I can't leave without a dress"
"Tasha and Miss Jones still have to find there accessories , if you find nothing then I'll have a look in the back and I'll have it sent to you tomorrow" Olivia suggested.
Tasha and Miss Jones had finished getting the rest of there stuff and I still hadn't found a dress.With no other option I had to trust Olivia and just hope she finds a dress in time for tomorrow.We thanked her and left.

Thankfully when we got back to the rooms the other girls were to busy trying on there dresses that had arrived to notice we had left.
I was feeling hungry so I decided to make some food , as always I ended up making food for everyone else, I helped the girls clean the kitchen and the rest of the place before I went to my room to clean up there.
It took about 3hrs for me to clean my room , I reorganised my clothes and shoes,i polished and vacuumed the place as well as cleaning my bathroom.Once everything was done I was to tired to do anything else so I ended up falling asleep.
It was almost 12 when I woke up, I had over slept longer then I normally would. I decided not to shower until later on. It was then that I remembered I didn't have a dress or anything in that matter, I decided not to dwell on that I still had hope that Olivia had found a dress and it would be here before 7:30.
We were all called to the royal part of the mansion. The ball was being held in the ball room, ironic really. It was spectacular , extraordinary. Huge glass chandeliers hung from the ceilings, historic paintings covered the walls, the cream marble floor made the room look even bigger, unique numerals and ancient drawings covered the ceiling ,the platform where the orchestra and performers were ,had been decorated with gold and expensive decor, two huge staircases were either side of the room and in between them was the a huge table set out for the food. It was exactly how a royal ball room should be.
Myself and the girls were given different tasks to do, I was sent to the dining room to set the plates and polish the cutlery. It was coming up to 5pm wen we dismissed to get ready we had been working all day and were all looking forward to tonight.
I ran to the room praying that the dress was there but it wasn't, I was on the verge of a panic attack but I calmed myself down , convincing myself it was only 5 o'clock I had plenty of time ,so instead I got into the shower.
I had washed myself with soap , shaved where needed and washed my hair. I brushed my teeth and scrubbed my face , I also used the toilet.I wrapped a towel around my hair and the other around my body and stepped out of the bathroom.
I almost screamed in excitement when I saw a huge rectangle shaped box lying on my bed , 3 smaller boxes were next to it .I ran over to the box , on the tag it read
'I'll see you at the ball-Olivia x'
I pulled of the ribbon and opened the lid , my jaw dropped when I saw the dress.

The Oddity: The One Who Does Not Belong
A purple ball descended from the sky, a gift from the primordial dragons, granting many races of the world access to magic. Unfortunately, humans were not one of those. During the great war, the magicless humans were nothing more than fodder, meat shields. Until one day, their powers awakened. After the war, with the ability to now wield, fire, water, earth, wind, or lightning, powerful magicians gathered to build a safe haven for humans, the Kaldora Empire. Before the humans had magic, other races prospered with it. But, within their midst, there were... oddities. People with an affinity for two elements. Each one leaving some sort of disaster in their wake. Each one, not quite fit for this world. A young boy's family, killed in an accident, only he and his sister survived the night. After that, they were split up, each taken in by a different relative. It has been eight years since the flames engulfed his home and most of his family. With his magic powers finally showing itself, he goes off to a magic academy to better learn about his newfound powers. But as he grows, something else does as well. The voice inside his head, the thing that influences his thoughts, the monster that he wish was gone, the devil inside his heart. This is a tale about connections. NOTE: The story will be slow for many of the chapters and the time will also match it, ex: goes by day by day. The time mostly will be used for introducing and adding to characters. It won't pick up until somewhere in the twenties but there will be action and events earlier on such as the missions. Just a fair warning. Order of Phantasmal Architects

Embers in the Ash
Four ordinary young people from four corners of the Earth wake up on a hill in another world. Here, their very presence is a crime against the Gods. On the fringes of civilization, life is often brief and always violent, but in the Empire's Heartland, implacable hunters seek to rectify their blasphemous existence with Blade and Fire. To return home, they will need to adapt to a place where their life will be earned in steel. But what will they be ready to sacrifice for their goal? Will their flame flicker out like so many others before them? Or will they thrive as Embers in the Ash? Hello, and welcome to my first fiction on this site! Embers in the Ash is an epic fantasy adventure story that aims to span quite a few chapters (I hope!). To set expectations, this isn't going to be a LitRPG or power fantasy-style story. I'm aiming for a fairly grounded story set in a fairly high-fantasy world. I hope you enjoy it! For this first month of publication, my aim is to give you, the reader, something to really bite into. I will be releasing a chapter every day at 9:15 AM EST (13:15 GMT), as well as the occasional double chapter (which will always be announced by a post-chapter author blurb). Check in fifteen minutes after the first chapter's release! After this first month of publication, the aim is to go for either a weekly or bi-weekly release schedule, depending on the sort of time I can reliably dedicate to writing. Either way, settle in for the long haul, and welcome to the story!

Cryptmother: Bride of the Dungeon Core
A tongue in cheek tale about a silly little necromancer and her dungeon-based woes...Graverra Graeme always knew she was destined for more than the average adventurer, even as a low level Necromancer in a realm where such practices are typically frowned upon. When she catches the eye of a lonely dungeon core she isn’t surprised… At first. Offered the chance to raise the dead and rise to her full potential but at the cost of her personal freedoms, Graverra navigates her new life Cryptmother; Bride of the dungeon core. Started as part of HereThereBeTreasure’s Fast Food Front Page Challenge, aka the Trash Race, continuing because I’m having fun, experimenting with some things, and Graverra needs her big goth castle dammit. While this is now tagged romance, it’s not a healthy one! Who knew throwing in with the first core to pay you any attention wasn’t grounds for a healthy relationship… While I plan to keep things light, ‘two impulsive power hungry users have to work together’ is kind of the backbone of this story. Consider this the official ‘toxic romance’ tagging. It’s the author’s first time building a dungeon too, bear with us 💖Dungeon Building begins around Chapter 10Dungeon Running to begin soon after Chapter 20 Now updating Wednesdays

The Nonpareil of Resh
Gwyn Black finds himself in an alien world unlike his own after a portal transports him to a planet on the edge of the cosmos. Strange denizens inhabit the world: a people that resemble a treasury of gemstones, a group who all have bony crowns adorning their heads, a tribe ruled by beastly giantesses, and an advanced nation of reptilian folk. The strange world, known as Resh, is full of advanced science and groundbreaking technology. Magic of the past has become rare and the practitioner’s taboo. Towering cities fill the skies, and impressive machines help terraform barren land. Armed with a mechanical creature that can graft to his arm to grant powers, Gwyn must navigate the world as conspiracies, and long-awaited plots begin to unfold and reveal themselves. Whether he will be consumed by a dark curse or embrace the path of a hero is something only time will tell. Notes:The release schedule is three chapters per week minimum. Occasionally “legends” or “excerpts” are released that are considered a bonus and skippable if desired. Typically chapter releases fall on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, with the bonus chapters falling on days in between.
