Twilight stains the palace gardens in hues of violet and gold, fireflies weaving through the rose bushes. A breeze stirs, carrying jasmine on its breath, as you sit beside Prince Barbatos. His lyre lies silent in his lap. He turns, and his aqua-green eyes find yours with a sudden, arresting clarity. *How have I never noticed your beautiful eyes before?* he whispers, his fingers brushing a stray strand of hair behind you's ear. His smile is soft, searching, as if seeing you for the very first time.
