read my book intro please?

here are the first 2 paragraphs:

People were watching me, I knew that. They always watch me. They are scared of me. I sighed in exasperation as I turned my silver eyes to the palace windows; I was wrong, there was no-one. I am sure I was meant to be relieved at the absence of prying eyes, but I felt somewhat...scared... relieved, but frightened of the sudden power I was given, the freedom.

I had been walking aimlessly about the palace gardens for a while, and now realised I had reached the fountain of the Gods. The fountain was part of a miniature cliff face; The water poured as a steady stream down the rocks, into various amphorae that were held by life-size, gilded statues of Gods and Goddesses who were carefully placed upon various ledges in the rock, until the amphorae became full, in which case it tipped and was poured into the amphora below it, and so on and so forth, until eventually a glittering statue of Aphrodite gently tipped the remaining water into a small pool at the bottom, filled with pristine, clear water.

CONSTRUCTIVE critism would be appreciated, as well as any other comments as i want to be able to improve my writing style, i am writing it for a friend and she said to get all of the complicated stuff out of the way so during this chapter there isn't much speaking and there is alot of history and info, so i already know that it could be more interesting thanks :D
