A COURT OF PAIN AND SORROW (ACOTAR FANFIC)

Starfall part 1

Nyx held Verna close as he did her dress up. Doing the little buttons on her dress before rising from his knees and doing up a bit of fabric that held her sleeves together. He then placed kiss to her forehead. Verna turned and smiled at him as she then did up the buttons of his top.

"You look really pretty in the star light," Nyx laughed. "I wonder why."

"Indeed." Verna whispered. "We should go, your parents must be looking for us."

"Yeah, I will led the way." Nyx answered taking Verna's arm. "I know the meeting place for where they want all of us to watch it."

"I don't even know what Starfall is." Verna whispered as she let Nyx led the way. "I asked Lucian and he just said I would have to wait and see. So then I asked Circe, and you know what Circe is like. She only laughed and said 'wait, Majva løje. You shall see'."

"Circe calls you her queen?" Nyx asks as he opens a door for her. "Ladies first."

Verna thanked him as she smiled, "yes, she does. Father once moaned at her for it when she said it in the common tongue so now she speaks in her first language."

"Well you are a queen, of flowers. I mean." He said slowly as he started to blush. At the sight of it Verna smirked. "Don't give me that look."

"Why?" She laughed. "After what you did between and on my legs, you calling me a queen is what made you blush?"

"Shut up." Nyx moaned as he opened another door.

There on a large sofa, sat Solis. His mother next to him, Nesta Acheron looked Verna up and down before her eyes left to look at her kin. Nesta smiled as she looked at Nyx before she went back to talking with her sister. Elaine. Verna had never seen Elaine before, the female never left the city and even then she lived on the other side of it. Of course, Verna had heard the myths on why. Azriel had fallen in love with the priestess Gwen, and once Gwen had a child, it broke Elaine's heart so she moved far, far away so she had to never see the child or her once lover.

"Mistress Verna." She said in her soft voice, her honey eyes looked over at the arm that was on her kind arm. "You look lovely. I don't think we have meet before."

"Thank you, and no. We have not." Verna said as Nyx walked her over to the sofa between the older females. "Though, is lovely to meet you."

"Indeed." She older female said before crossing her legs. Her outside looked right out of the Spring Court, with the pale green and light flowers on her dress. Even the crown on her head seemed to have belonged there. To Verna,  the female looked like how she imaged her Westa Kin. The rules of the Spring Court before her family came into power. "Is your father coming?" She asked looking at Nyx, though, Verna could not shake the feeling that the question was meant for her.

"I'm surprised he is not already." Nyx laughed. "Starfall is the one night he is never late for—"

"I told you once!" A male yelled, cutting the heir off. "You cannot do that!."

"But why!?" Replied another male. Verna remembered his voice, Cassian. Nesta sighed.

"Because they are our guests." Replied the first. Elaine sat up at the sound of it, Azriel.

"Your always such a party pooper." Cassian said as he opened the large wooden doors. He smiled as he kissed his mate and patted his sons head. "No Rhyie yet?"

"No." Nesta said. "Though, I'm sure he will come. Just to ruin my fun."

"I thought you two were getting along." Nyx asked.
