THE DANCING FAIRY

A woman among the crowd of dancers walked up to us, bowing to the king she said, "Can we steal the lady for a few minutes my lord." She asked in their language and he nodded.

She smiled at me stretching her hands towards me, I started between her and my demon husband. "She won't harm you." He assured and I nodded.

The woman pulled me to the center of the gathering and I was then surrounded by some other women. They clapped, singing in their dialects as they circled me.

Each woman had a beautiful smile on her face and I could tell their call was for me to dance with them. I hesitated a bit, staring back at the king whose dark eyes were already on me. He watched me calmly like before, and even if I had catch him staring, he didn't shift his gaze.
