Beveled in the grace of gold, she blossoms on horseback. A maid of Orleans, she is chosen from teens across her city for her essay and command of French on the Epiphany to ignite memory in passing her rite of blessings with a toast to the Saint before the Cathedral.

A krewe of heralds paves the crowd with candles alight at the breath of a hush as equine beats parade the masses along Antoine Alley for their gifts.

A horse of corks, cards of character and prayer, wax-sealed scrolls, wood doubloons, and Atomic Fireballs are handed from baskets to bystanders lined from those honored to march in stained glass tabards, plate mail, and robes to welcome Carnival Season on the night of the king.

Angels flower the path illuminated, clad in wings bedecked by the awe of spectators brought to frenzy in a genuflection of hands that beckon chivalry, monks and knights with swords that gleam by firelight for D’Arc.
