Zaire Shardae-Cobriana groaned as the first morning's light danced
across his eyes. Driving away what little sleep he had managed through the
night. His black hair rustled against his hawk feather golden skin, as he
turned on his side. His eyes slowly fluttered open revealing intense black
eyes decorated with flecks of gold. Eyes that seemed to reflect all
surrounding light could strike fear in any mortal's heart.
He struggled to pull up his aching body, muscles still screaming from yesterdays swordplay lessons. Blades too dull to cut the skin could still cause heavy bruising Zaire hand learned. He rubbed the large purple bruise blossoming on his forearm.
The mouthwatering aroma announced breakfast had been served and was just enough to motivate Zaire. He pulled a clean silk shirt over his muscle ripped chest and made his way to the dining hall.
His toe rings clicking loudly on the marble floor announced his arrival. Danica Shardae turned, giving Zaire a warm smile. "Mother" he nodded in greeting. Zaire's little sister Charis sat at her mother's knee. She loved to listen to the story of how her parent's met. The story had become legend around these parts. Watching his parents together, no one would ever believe that they hadn't married for love.
Two boys running through the market brought everyone's attention. Vasili Rei, Zaire's twin brother was sure to increase their mother's wrath. Danica felt it impolite to cause a scene. Even thought they were twins, Vasili looked more like their mother although his eyes held the same read flame of their fathers. Where Zaire lvoed to keep fit by learning defense, Vasili was all scholarly.
