Berlin was grateful to have been able to bathe before being taken to meet her possibly new husband. She knew she would be the oldest of the potential brides there. She had been fortunate to avoid the Drakkens for as log as she had by hiding in the hills. She knew one day she would be found, but hoped it would be when she was past the age for an appropriate bride to be. As she ran the brush through her long golden blonde waves she paid no attention to the male guards who stared at her body in the revealing green dress behind her. The silk against her skin was an odd feeling to Berlin, as she was use to dressing in rags to work in the garden under the unforgiving sun for many hours at a time. The only thing the dress she wore hid was the most intimate places and her long lean legs as long as she stood still. When she walked the high slits up the sides of the dress even revealed her legs. Berlin presumed that due to her age she was forced to show more skin to make up for being older than the other Gems.
"Okay, enough primping. You are already late because we had to drive so long to find your hidden home. You better be worth the trouble you put us through," The larger of the male Drakken guards spoke as he wrapped his hand around her left bicep. With a single pull from the strong arm of the guard Berlin was on her feet. She did not respond to the guard- she didn't even look at him as he drug her along at a hurried pace. Berlin walked along side the guard until she was shoved forward into the large ballroom of the Drakken castle. It seemed as though she walked in on the middle of an argument over a Gem female. Her eyes looked the men over calmly before the guards at her back pointed for her to join the line of female Gems.
Berlin looked around the ballroom, getting lost in the details that ran along the walls. She distanced the possibility of being claimed by a brute school as the ones in front of her from her mind by daydreaming about showing her family a castle as large as this. A soft smile pulled at the corner of her shimmering pink lips as she kept her head facing away from the Drakkens. Deep inside of her Berlin was terrified, but the only thing she could do was make the best of the situation she was placed in. She did not sob or beg, she did not challenge anyone- she simply hummed a soft lullaby in a faint tone as she imagined dancing to a slow melody on the large ballroom floor.
