605 Order of the Shadows

"Welcome back my little Cub. Where on earth…" She began and then stopped when she saw a shift of people in the crowd. A small group was not unusual in this crowd, what was unusual is that they were staring at her. One raised a slow hand, a Man may be a little older than Kyera and waved slowly, at his side was a boy Raina's age. She raised a hand and bowed her head in acknowledgement. "Take this." Kyera took a small pill from her pouch and handed it to Raina who took the pill without question, following the herb ball with water from the table.

"What was that?" Clovis asked uneasily.

"A cleanser. She is drenched in Shadows Magic. It will make her stand out to shifter Kin. I don't like that. Till it dissipates stay beside Talis and Kendrick. Now then, Husband, I believe you owe me a dance." Kyera purred smiling softly and he raised a brow.

"Royal's don't dance with their people…" He began and she raised an eyebrow.

"Clovis, you have been among the Frost Land Royas, you have seen our customs. Do you wish to live the life of the Forest Gate Royas or the Frost Royal Family?" Kyera asked choosing her words carefully and spoke too quiet to be heard by any but her husband.

The smile that cracked his lips. She was right. Being one with the people was the first step to a harmony he desperately wanted. He offered her his hand and followed her down into the crowd.

There was a moment of stillness, as the people and the dancer's realized their Prince had joined them with their Princess. Kyera seemed undisturbed  by this fact and took a bow to Clovis who returned it before taking her hand. The music resumed as Kyera and Clovis began dancing together, the people realized what was going on and began joining in. surprisingly, So did the visiting royals. Pairing off and dancing among the rest of the crowd. Kyera twirled and spun, following Clovis' lead as they danced. It was an art, more choreographed the dance they had done as their wedding ceremony in the Frost lands. Her dress swirled around her legs, flashing in the rising moonlight. Some of the small details shimmering like stars across the deep colored gown.

"You have been practicing." Kyera claimed with a devilish little grin as he dipped her back, a moment of complete trust as her weight rested on him and then swung back up.

'Yes… I suppose you did." Kyera smile as the pair danced till her breathing was coming in faster. A thin Sheen of sweat on her brow as she began to tire.

"Beautifully done, My Queen." He purred bringing her hand to his lips to kiss. The rush of heat to her cheeks caused a faint blush of pink on her flushed cheeks. Clovis smiled, knowing exactly how his words had affected his wife.

"My Lady, Princessa Kyera, May I have a word?" A man asked and Kyera turned and tilted her head. She recognized him, as she turned.

"Yes, You May Elder Diaval. I never thought I would see you again. You or the Children of The Stars." Kyera smiled as she took his hand and bowed her head to it. "Forgive me for not giving you a proper greeting, I am a Princess here and it would draw… negative attention." Kyera apologized and he nodded.

"You passed the point of needing to bow to me long ago, Princessa Kyera. Your true birth is still the greatest secret of our age but known to the order. May I introduce my son, Hayden." He asked motioning to the boy.

"Yes, I have seen him at the palace. I was unsure if he was yours." She nods at the boy who bows. "You know of but have not met my Husband, I believe. Clovis this is ``The Priesthood Order of The Shadows."
