The Castle was lavishly decorated with glittering star-like lights that drooped down from the sky, which had blossomed into brilliant pinks and purples of a magical sunset. The Gates were tall, shaped like butterflies and handsome guards with heads of luscious, platinum hair lined the walls, spears with stars at the end in hand. The Goddess had truly outdown herself this year. The Star Gardens realm was blossoming with life and so, to celebrate, the Goddess Astraea held this ball yearly, inviting those from far and wide to enjoy a night of fun in her Castle. At the entrance of the gates stood four guards and one bouncer. He was tall and buff and rather intimidating, standing close to the woman who was checking invitations in case of any invaders who had intentions of causing a ruckus at the ball. The woman was dressed in an exquisite silvery blue uniform, decorated with glittering butterflies, her platinum hair tied into a severe bun as she checked each and every invitation before allowing each guest in. The night was alive and young. And the innocent goddess awaited her guests inside, happy and safe.

The bouncer gave her a hard look before moving aside to where the woman stood. She grasped Aurora's invite, looked it over and handed it back to her before stepping out of the way. The guards knelt down while two others opened the Gates for her, allowing her entrance into the Castle. "Have a nice time.." The woman said with a smile, revealing her black teeth.

The Guards immediately gave the goddess entrance, without even bothering to check her invite. They bowed her head to her upon laying their eyes on her. The woman up front bowed her head to the goddess, a dear friend of Astraea's and personally pulled open the Gates to allow the goddess through.

Maynard showed in front of the gates. His eyes widened at the sheer beauty of the castle. A ball which was invited to. A lot has happened in the past year and he needed some fresh air. Going to a beach, relaxing would've been nice, but this? A ball? Maynard can only dream going to a ball.
Kalil held his, his sister's, and Izara's invitations in his hand as they walked up to the castle gates. He straightened his coat jacket, making sure his arms were completely covered. He looked at the guard, handing them the invitations. He stood, shoulders straight, probably looking more confident than he felt. He wasn't sure if they'd be allowed in, despite having the invitation. He always expected to be turned down at places, or not allowed in due to his reputation, even if it was a lie orchestrated by his father. He leaned on his staff as he waited for the guard to allow them in or deny them access, Amira and Izara waiting beside him.

The woman smiled, allowing the man into the gates. She looked towards the next group arriving, two girls and a boy. She nodded her head, looking over their invitations before handing them back. "Enjoy the ball!" She told them, the guards gesturing for them to enter. Astraea did say that all citizens of the Realms were allowed to attend the ball. Even those who considered themselves truly evil.
Kalil briefly looked shocked before walking past the woman and the guards. Amira looked at the woman, smiling. "Thank you so much," she said.

The women guard, whom he assumed checked the invitations gave it a brief glance before allowing him access into the ballroom. Jasper smiled at her thankfully, before entering the ball

The moment he recieved such an invitation for a ball, he explicitly chuckled and tossed the paper aside. A puny thought long forgotten in the back of his mind. That is, of course, when a certain siren Demi-Goddess subsequently trespassed to mind. Then he shook with delicious lust, his lovely siren always came back to mind. The lush feel of her pale skin that he had once carressed and tortured. It was enough to entice the demon to pay a visit to the foolish Goddesses party. Knowing full well that Thaily would be there.

Julien stood before the gigantic doors. It was nothing like he ever seen before. The sheer power that the place radiates made him feel insignificance just a small bit. Though, he's had this feeling for a while and it made him strong at times. He gave the guards his invitation and was accepted. The doors opened and he was in.

((He'll be in the ballroom if you wanna interact with him.)
Quite later, Annie Blair descended from the skies, smiling. She landed and the guard let her in immediately. The young demoness walked in.
Oracle Wilderun flew down and flapped inside, the guards letting her in.
Penelope walked up and showed her Invitation in her hand. She handed her invitation to the guard and when the guard nodded, she went inside.

The cool night air battered against the skin of the human witch, the chill attempting to perturb her placid facade of imperial regality. In spite of her bare shoulders and the single layer of fabric that stood between the witch and the elements, she never so much as shivered or winced. From her dark marbled sanctuary in the woods of Vayle, to the illustrious Stargarden Palace of Astraea, the journey would have been a taxing one, and yet magic made light of the burdens of the mundane.
The ritual of the Amaranthine flower awaited her at the nights end, but the rumours of a ball for the deified and powerful were an intoxicating prospect. So many specimens of divinity in one place... Persephone’s lips twisted into a faint grin on her ethereally beautiful features, bringing a flickering wildness to her dark eyes. With little thought, her feet carried her along the path up to the Palace.
In place of what should have been music and merriment, a peculiar silence filled the air as she approached the shining gates. The area bore to it a hollow quality and the dread seemed to hang in the air menacingly, Persephone could feel it in the very threads of arcana that gave this place it’s magic. The sorceress’ head inclined, her brow faintly furrowing as she took in a sight beside entrance. “How curious…” She muttered, no wavering to her voice, aside from a jingle of morbid fascination. Beside the gates were two guards, gruesomely impaled, one before the other upon a vast \jagged spike, the sanguine fluids pouring forth from their grievous wounds like a gentle waterfall.
“At least tonight will be more interesting than expected… and I didn’t even need to waste my time enchanting my way through!” She thought gleefully. Moving on unbothered, she simply paused at the doors. She grazed her fingers over it in an intricate pattern, leaving a dull glow in their wake which faded each time she lifted them to begin a new line. Persephone was content with her work. The witch, as if dismissing an unseen party, gestured with a single outstretched finger and the doors came easily open, permitting her entrance into what was sure to be the party of the century…

It was night time and Helio was searching for somewhere to rest until the landscape around started to change. The atmosphere became a lot more mellow than before. This perked his curiosity as he continued on trail that lead him up to this castle. He was wearing a dark robe covering most of his face. As he got closer he started to see slight color of red, the guards were alert and stopped him. They asked for an invitation to condirmed he was a guess. Of he wasn't and wasnt gonna lie to faces. "No. I'm no guess." The guards immediately drawn their weapons against him. Helios looked at them as his eyes glowed in the dark. "You don't wanna do this..." he said, though smiling under his mask. "I can sense something is wrong." The guards explained what happened, He agreed to help for a price. He then entered the castle.
