  5. [i]Entrance to the[/i] White Night
  6.  
  7. Azumi Ian stared at the place she landed, somewhat dumbfounded. The gold pedestal she had landed on upon entering the ship (it was hard to think of it as a ship, really, looking at it from the inside) shone like it was constantly polished, but it paled in comparison to the rest of the hall ahead of them. On either side of the pedestal were gold statues in the visage of the Greek goddess Eos (it could have been Rikka, but maybe she wasn't quite [i]that[/i] unnecessarily extravagant), ahead of her the hall stretched nearly fifty feet before stopping at a door wrought of silver, supposedly leading to the rest of the extravagant palace. Above, the ceiling was curved into a high arch, and seemingly made of mirrors, as her own, black armored reflection stared back at her, as well as the hall, giving her a strange sense of infinity.

  9. The walls were pure white marble, spiraling veins of gold snaking across their surface, shining enough to almost rival the reflective properties of the ceiling. Where the walls, ceilings, and floors touched, there was white paneling with even more gold trim. Chairs and stools sat against the walls, as if guests were always expected.

  11. And finally, there was the centerpiece of this already overly-expensive room, a room she probably got for free due to the hypnosis of Cid Highwind. In the approximate center of the hall sat a throne atop a marble white dais. The throne bore that hand-carved and polished look, and designed ornately in dark reds and black tones, made was made of wood so dark one would almost think of it as delicious chocolate. Cushions of crushed velvet made the throne look incredibly comfortable and luxurious. Over the throne hung three very large crystal chandeliers, one in front, one behind, and one directly above it.

  13. So distracted was she by her surroundings, Azumi barely took note of the others in the room. Naturally, Fatuus was the one sitting on the throne, not much surprise there. Dani had come in behind her, and was walking to stand by Ignis. A familiar masked man had just entered from the opposite end of the hall (he seemed to be muttering that the palace didn't inspire fear as much as it should have). From the look.... Doctor Jonathan Crane, the Scarecrow. She had been warned of his Interference, but this was a surprise. Not one she showed outwardly, but a surprise nonetheless. She didn't see Rikka, and supposed the Light of Destruction was in her private quarters.

  15. Despite the beauty of the White Night, Azumi was still struck by despair. Some of the worst enemies known to Interferences had all gathered here, and made it their home of sorts. In a way, the evil that had gathered here marred the beauty of the palace-ship, and it was a fatal reminder of the contract she was now soon to be under, whether she liked it or not. Sighing, the ODST finally stepped off of the pedestal. She looked to Dani, as if ignoring the existence of the others by force of will. "I'll assume she's in her room here. I'd like as many in attendance as possible for me to write this, but none of your magic tricks or drugs. And any of your other allies, I'd like to know about them as well and have them sign." She tried as hard as she could to keep her bride for as long as she could. Not much left she did have. But she did know.
