Pia woke up to a sharp jab into her left side and Delphine right in her face. She had dark skin and luminous, brown eyes. “Wake up, sunshine. Today will be a wonderfully bright day,” she sang. Pia groaned while rolling over. Delphine was a seer, but could only predict the weather and loved to crack jokes about it.
“Let’s hope that Zak is bright enough to have this plan work,” Pia said. She sat up and stretched. The sun poured through the window and illuminated her small servant's quarter. Delphine and Pia were part of the Winter Court, however, they were part of a rebellion group known as the Chaos that was trying to free the Court of Queen Coraline’s cruelty. “You have nothing to worry about.
