One thing I miss about being in Alaska is that when it's just snowed and if you go out in the middle of the night, you experience REAL quiet. No birds, no cars, just your own breath. I'm missing that in a weirdly pressing way.

Attached is a royal romance between two demons named Spyra and Daivok. Where love begins at the first insult! Let's forget about all the craziness in life right now. 💙📚 🩷🧙‍♂️⚔️ #Writing #WritingCommunity #Story #Romance #Demons #RoyalRomance

The Day Spyra and Diavok meet
Eyes fixed on the archway to the balcony, I could not see the bay, but I could hear it. Dozens of ship horns floated in with the summer breeze, complemented by the sound of gulls. It was a strangely peaceful day. It didn’t match at all with my sour mood though it at least distracted me as my attendant’s fretted about.
They had standing atop on a small wooden podium in the middle of my dressing room that had everyone wall adorned with mirrors. There only two ways out of this damned room, the balcony with its tranquil view of the bay, and the large wooden double doors leading deeper into the bowels of the castle.
I would have neither escape until my attendants were satisfied.
They draped me in fine silk, a rich magenta dress shirt carefully tucked under a corset of royal purple that was ribbed with dragon bone. Fine golden thread wove through the corset to form the image of a sailboat sailing over my abdomen in rough seas. Black slacks were paired with a tailcoat of more royal purple.
The attendants began to hymn and haw, spinning around me as they checked every inch. One caught my eye, Gregor, he was twice my age but looked more like five times. Thin as a whip with six stubby horns lining his bald skull. He had the shape of a crane and a wit mighty of the gods. Tapping a pale ashy finger on his chin, he bemoaned. “MI ‘Lord, could you stop whipping your tail so that we may see it all together?”
Several curses bounced around in my head as I willed my tail to cease it’s swishing. Despite years of practice, my tail still revealed my mood.
One day soon I would be King of this world and many more. I would rule the Demon Republic and bare the many ironies of its name. The ships, the people, and all the seas would be my responsibility. Yet my tail is swishing at the thought of meeting the one thing in between me and my crown………my betrothed.
She was a noble woman that I was promised to upon her birth, the first source of my ire. Due to the…

“Having an open heart was how she got betrayed.” The words fell out of my mouth before I could stop them. Two years ago, my mother was poisoned by her own lady in waiting, the lady had been paid off, she did it for something as pointless as money.
I hope that money is good in hell.
Gregor knew that rehashing this conversation was going to be no good, so he gently patted me on the back to get going.
The Sea Throne was luckily not far from my quarters. If I could dig down through the floors, I would reach it in a minute at most, but for those coming through the front door, well its quite the walk.
The Sea Throne was one of two throne rooms the castle had, and it was meant for meeting those that lived under the waves. It’s sister, The Earth throne, was for those that lived above the waves. It was designed this way to ease tensions. The conflict was referenced in their respective artworks but after 10,000 years ago, details were lost and broad stokes were hazy.
Tan Tiles gave way to polished sea rock, wooden walls became carved out caves, and the air of incenses blew out of my nose by the smell of the salty sea.
The carvings on the walls started to show battles, simply form with no bother clothing or facial expression yet terror was clear by body posture. People of the sea being dragged away by those with wings just to dropped hundreds of feet to their deaths. People of the earth using their arms to shield the faces of the children or themselves. One of those few broad strokes remaining that could understood from The Sister Thrones, Tierasion were monsters.
Gregor feet skipped on the rock, making me whip my head up to see someone already standing by The Sea Throne wearing a navy-blue cloak that covered everything. My brain turned trying to figure out how anyone from Lady Spyra’s party could have made it here already, it was a good 15-minute walk from the front entrance, and the messenger would have needed time to run back.
Clearing my throat, I questioned the f…

Without a word, she unclasped the cloak and draped it on the throne, the audacity made Gregor choak on his breath behind me. All she was wearing was simple white linen shirt and black slacks, though the pants looked odd. Around where it be mid-calf on me, there was a kink on each leg making the bottom half of her legs make a C shape. Walking towards me, there was a bit of a bounce to her. All around I was just confused on who this might be out of Lady Spyra’s party.
“Wow, they really dressed you up like a bird for this, what, were you all worried I would bail.” Her words struck through me like lightning, shaking me to my core. Her smile seemed to become adorable, her form become intoxicating, and I swear the scent of lavender filled the room.
This woman was Lady Spyra. She had my heart at the first insult.

The last line for the first chapter was, "She had my heart at the first insult." Like if you want to read it. 🩷🧙‍♂️⚔️ 💙📚

If you want a good cry and can't sleep. May I recommend the YouTube channel Adventures with Purpose. They search waterways for lost loved ones and don't charge the families. Very cool videos, but when they find someone. Ohh the heartbreak. #GoodCry

The deeper you look into this wonderful new JWST image, the more there is to see. Nearby stars, scenes of celestial birth farther away, galaxies everywhere in the background. Energy and action in play everywhere. 🧪🔭 esawebb.org/news/weic2425/

A star cluster is shown inside a large nebula of many-coloured gas and dust. The material forms dark ridges and peaks of gas and dust surrounding the cluster, lit on the inner side, while layers of diffuse, translucent clouds blanket over them. Around and within the gas, a huge number of distant galaxies can be seen, some quite large, as well as a few stars nearer to us which are very large and bright.
