the   return   of   magic   to   the   guests   within   his   court   wasn't   unwelcomed,   however   it   was   a   cause   for   concern   in   the   fact   that   he   had   had   yet   to   meet   with   a   few   more   of   the   high   rulers   of   the   courts.   it   wasn't   ideal   to   wait   as   long   as   he   had   to   meet   the   other   high   rulers   of   the   courts   on   the   mainland,   however   he   wouldn't   dwell   on   that   as   he   came   across   one   of   the   few   he'd   had   to   meet.   stepping   into   the   space   the   other   had   been   occupying.   "hello,   high   ruler."   he   spoke   greeted   the   other   with   confidence.   "pleasure   to   meet   you,   i   am   high   lord   yijun   of   the   dusk   court."

samara   loved   the   winter,   and   as   much   as   she   did   staying   outside   in   the   colder   temperatures   wasn't   something   that   she   enjoyed.   returning   to   winter's   quarters   she   was   already   shedding   her   exterior   layers   with   an   intention   to   curl   up   with   a   soft   blanket   in   front   of   the   fireplace   with   her   book.   it   was   as   she   walked   through   the   door   shedding   her   jacket   from   her   arms   that   she   spotted   the   general   sitting   in   the   common   room.   "general   vyros."   she   greeted   the   other   as   she   set   her   stuff   aside.   "it   has   gotten   very   cold   out   there,   reminds   me   of   home   slightly."

taylan   knew   it   was   inevitable   that   her   ex   fiance   would   show   his   face   in   the   dusk   court.   he'd   been   sending   her   gifts   periodically   since   they'd   arrived   in   the   dusk   court.   she'd   hidden   a   bunch   of   them   under   her   bed,   too   attached   to   throw   them   out   but   too   detached   to   be   looking   at   them   on   a   daily   basis.   it   still   hurt   to   think   back   to   the   last   moment   that   she   had   spoken   words   with   the   autumn   fae.   distracting   herself   with   the   work   of   being   an   emissary   in   the   foreign   court   had   helped   a   little   bit.   it   was   every   time   that   she   returned   to   her   own   room   that   she   was   reminded,   especially   when   there   was   a   new   gift   from   the   older   male.   just   like   it   had   been   in   that   moment.   she   had   just   kneeled   on   the   floor   to   retrieve   the   box   holding   his   gifts   when   the   knock   sounded   on   the   door.   abandoning   the   box   on   the   floor   she   stood   to   open   the   door,   revealing   her   oldest   brother   behind   the   door.   "yes?"

she had had enough of everything. celeste was irritated and fed up with the dusk court, with her court, with everyone around her and with herself most of all. she had been shoving down her true feelings for way too damn long. it was a miracle truly that she had even lasted this long, keeping up this cool and collected demeanor, when all she wanted to do is scream and fight everyone, but all she felt was trapped and watched here. she wanted to claw a person's eyes out for acting even a tiniest bit annoying, so she knew she had to take an evening off, just for herself. it was hard to convince herself not to try to fly away from the dusk court since it was useless to try the impossible, so she opted for hunting. it was something her father had suggested her to learn to suppress her hunger for violence. she walked a small hill with her bow on her shoulder and a few arrows in a satcher at her hip, her mind fuming while the darkness settled over the wooden area. she stomped carelessly and angrily, expecting no animals roaming so close to the city, when she heard someone speaking senselessly. celeste was pulled in by the voice, keeping her hand on the bow and an arrow, and as she moved closer to the sound of words that made little sense to her, she took in the speaker, laying in a soft bed of moss in the woods. it was a girl that she had never seen before, her hair sprawled across the green ground and eyes the colour of coal wide open. she looked like a creature just crawled out of earth. " what are you doing ? " celeste spoke loudly to talk over the other's words still spilling from her mouth and trying to catch the girl's eyes, but she hesitated to touch her. with a single blink celeste was brought back to a small cabin by the woods in dawn court, an older woman laying in a linen sheet bed in that same position, her nails dug into celeste's arm as her black eyes dug into hers. no child of mine, a spawn of a demon, was what she had said, as she had always said. celeste's consciousness was brought back to the present by a loud crack, that made her step away from the girl and spin on her heel, her bow already aimed at the intruder.

as  ilayda  moved  through  the  quiet  streets,  the  air  felt  cool  against  her  skin,  a  slight  breeze  threatening  to  uncover  her  face  hidden  by  the  black  cloak  as  she  moved  with  hushed  steps.  it  hadn’t  been  too  long,  since  she  started  following  him  but  her  heart  still  raced  with  unease  and  her  steps  slowed  with  uncertainty.  the  darkness  barely  offered  her  comfort  and  although  the  shame  written  on  her  face  was  covered  with  her  cape,  her  words  were  marked  with  it.  clearing  her  throat  one  last  time,  she  stepped  out  of  the  shadows  and  finally  spoke,  her  voice  low  and  unnatural  in  a  pathetic  attempt  to  conceal  her  identity.  “  i  need  to  speak  to  you  .  someone  told  me  you  know  the  general,  right  ?”
