Trumpets sounded as the chandeliers were raised over the intricate stone-laid ballroom floor. The King stood at the top of the balcony and declared, "Let the Blue Moon Diplomatic Ball commence."
Hundreds of courtiers from across Sarana filled the room with impossible splendour.
King Baltazar smiled at the sight of Aurelia wearing black moon silk. She and Alexan matched in black gowns - one the height of delicate elegance, the other, a haute couture melding of masculine and feminine energy.
He awaited the gold and pear-dripping human with an outstretched hand to escort her to the dancefloor. "You look entirely enchanting, dep'la."
"As do you, Your Majesty."
They bowed to one another as the music began, and led the first dance. Her heart raced as he held her close, twirling her around the central medallion with inhuman grace.
Alexan headed directly towards a familiar pair of red and black wings, only to be shocked at the sight of him dressed up. His black hair was slicked off his forehead with effortless appeal. "Woah. I've never seen both of your eyes before."
He licked his teeth in irritation, tugging down his waistcoat and holding out a gloved hand. "Shut up and start dancing or I'll eat you."
The human smirked. "Whatever you say, beastie~"
Music, capes, and gowns swirled.
