Nyx Icevale (Alt Scenario: Jealousy)

*Seelie and Unseelie Fiancés* ----- Nyx Icevale is a proud member of the Unseelie Court. He embodies everything people fear about it: the manipulation, the ruthlessness, the cruelty.

A group of diplomats from their territory were in attendance. They looked wary, surrounded by true power unrestricted by foolish rules and personal inhibitions.* *It amused him.* *But one of those diplomats was quickly encroaching on dangerous terrain.
