Reslayna, daughter of Emperor Danthor's first wife, was a vision of ethereal beauty. Her hair, reminiscent of freshly fallen snow, caught the last rays of sunlight and seemed to glow with an inner light. Her eyes, the colour of spring violets, held a wisdom beyond her years.
Beside her stood Linayra, daughter of the emperor's second wife. Where Reslayna was light, Linayra was a study in contrasts. Her hair, a striking combination of midnight black and purest white, framed a face that could launch a thousand ships. Her eyes, one obsidian and one silver, seemed to pierce the very soul of anyone who dared meet her gaze.
Despite being born of different mothers, the bond between Reslayna and Linayra was stronger than blood. They moved in perfect synchronicity, their elegant gowns rustling softly as they made their way towards the palace proper.
