closed starter for zacreus ciphenth @dcrkening
Someone was watching her . Sabina had felt their gaze prickling at her neck the same if someone had walked over her grave and spoken her name , demanding the awakening of some long dead thing . Or perhaps it had simply been waiting , ready as she turned sharply towards the source of the sensation with narrowed eyes . Some habits died hard , and even though the war was long past it was a warrior 's reactions that still claimed her movements when faced with an unknown . She found his gaze almost instantly , and a shock moved through her limbs as the shining and golden eyes seemed to pierce through whatever soul she had left . As if they already knew all her secrets . It was the arrogance behind them that solidified her irritation , and a breath later she marked the man as none other than Zacreus Ciphenth . It made perfect sense that he would be at her high lady's celebration in the House of Wind as well . After all he was a ruler in his own right .High Lord of the Day Court .
If that shouldn't have been enough to make her drop her gaze from the male's , his preceding reputation should have put a nail to that coffin . But her eyes didn't falter as they slit another centimeter closer in distaste . Sabina 's feet were moving before she was even aware enough to command them , leading her straight into the den of the dragon without so much as an instant of hesitation . She knew these kind of males . The ones who thought the world their playthings for better or for worse , and she'd always tried to knock them down as many pegs as she could manage . So despite the fact that she was a female fae with barely a lick of power to show , she slinked to where he was holding his impromptu court before replacing her expression with a smile that didn't meet her eyes .
" I thought I'd take this chance to introduce myself as it seems only right to make the rounds as the new emissary of the Night Court . " Her head titled curiously to the side , already savoring whatever reaction her next words might garner . " I'm Sabina Khoe . And you're the high lord of the Day Court . I've heard so much about your charming self . In fact - I was told you're so incredibly charming that you insist everyone simply call you Zac . " It seemed all sense of self - preservation had left her while she shredded the lines of impropriety .
