Jupiter was excited about tonight, it was going to be legendary. These parties only happened once every 100 years, or in their case 92 years, but who was counting? Jupiter had spent forever trying to pick out what she would wear, starting from the moment she was sent to the academy.
As a young girl, she used to flip through teen magazines and find dresses that she would like to wear. Arguably her style has changed a lot since she was 12 years old, but that didn’t matter. She had narrowed it down to three different options last year to allow herself time to wait and feel what would be right. This moment meant more to her than anyone would know, it was the hard work and deviation that finally paid off and she got to continue the family legacy, it was the utmost honor for Jupiter.
The redhead had spent several minutes that turned into more minutes staring at herself in the mirror, moving her head to get all the angles. She had to make sure every angle was perfect and not a single thing was out of place. It was kind of how she was with everything, this would be no different.
Jupiter began to look a little harder really examining her crafty work on her makeup and began to adjust it a little as seen. This was why she was late half the time, but if one of her looks had to be perfect it had to be this one.
Part of her was so excited about tonight that she got to attend this party, but another part of her could feel the heavy emotion tied to it. She did get to carry on the family legacy, but for what? Her family chastises her for being weak or not good enough. The feeling was like a pit in her stomach weighing her down. Would she ever be good enough?
It was the part of her that made her almost want to take off everything she was wearing and toss it aside so she could curl up in her bed and watch The Office. The only reason she didn’t do that was Shiloh. Shiloh would kick her ass if she didn’t come and she would just make things worse for her parents if they found out.
Instead, she was now inspecting her dress to make sure there were no loose threads, no tears, or any blemishes that would ruin it. It was a process, but the constant checking and keeping busy distracted her from everything on her mind.
Jupiter found it was hard to calm down, but she had made it down by the stage doors where everyone was expected to meet up so that they could be formally introduced to the witch community as the new order. Her hands had added moisture in them from being a bit nervous, but she slightly wiped them on her dress.
They were behind stage watching the headmaster of the academy, Ethel Maud Genes, introduce the evening.
” Welcome witches from far and wide to join us here at the Academy to celebrate the successors from The Choosing that happened last night. Our students like always were all dedicated to their studies both in theory and practical. With so many bright students, it is always difficult for The Order to come to a unanimous decision, but they have easily agreed on our next Order.”
Ethel went on to give a speech about how proud she was of everyone and that there couldn’t have been a better pick. Part of Jupiter couldn’t help but wonder if that was just something they had to say and to keep the peace. Her mind lingered on Liza, she was an incredible fire witch with so much talent, but yet she didn’t get the role. Maybe it should have been her standing here tonight.
Nevertheless, her mind was brought back to Ethel Genes when she started to introduce them.
“Our first member is here to represent the element of Wood, without food there would be no food to the fire, congratulations to Othello Estney.
Without fire to burn down the wood, there would be no earth, congratulations to Jupiter Bradbury.”
That was her cue and she started to walk at a timely pace behind Othello to resume her spot on the stage as Ethel continued.
"Without Earth on this planet, metal would not exist, congratulations to Eden Thomas.
Metal acts as a container and can store many things, without metal, there would be no place for water to store, congratulations to Shiloh Taylors.
And without water, we would not be able to nourish the wood, congratulations to Malachai Bernard.
If the wood was not nourished, the earth would not root the earth, the earth would not dam water, water would not extinguish the fire, the fire would not melt metal, and metal wouldn’t cut wood. These elements require balance within themselves and together. Without one the whole earth is out of balance. These individuals have shown the greatest bonds with each other proving even more so that they are meant to take this role. ”
Jupiter smiled while she was on stage making sure to hold up her good appearance because if her family saw one foot out of line it would be game over.
The event had a couple of speeches to welcome them and the older order members had given small speeches for each of the new members. The formalities were done and Ethel allowed for everyone to get into the ball. It was time for the orchestra to play and the drinks to come out.
After getting off of the stage Jupiter was immediately offered a drink, which she took. She began to sip at it trying to get the flavors of what it was.
Jupiter found one of the standing tables to stand at while she had her drink.
