✣ AUDITION   ✣

As the sun began its slow ascent over the autumn trees, a gentle breeze stirred the rustling leaves, casting a golden glow. Soft light trickled through the High Lord's window, the usual herald of his waking hours—but not today.

This morning, he lounged in a chamber chair, one leg draped over the side, his crown resting loosely in his hands. His fingers traced its intricate details, the cold metal beneath his touch reminding him of the weight he carried.
He was the youngest of the 7 rulers, elevated to the throne before he could grasp the magnitude of the power he now wielded. Sometimes, he could still see the blood on his hands, on his clothes. His path to power was stained with it, but that was the price for power. Even still, the other High Lords?  Many had never accepted him. They watched him with wary eyes, waiting for him to falter, to prove them right—that he was unworthy, unfit. No matter how many victories he claimed or how steady his rule, doubt still clung to his name like a shadow.

He sighed, tilting the crown in his hands, the soft morning light catching on its polished surface. It should have been a symbol of strength, of authority. He rests his head against the back of the chair, eyes tracing the ceiling.

He sat for a few moments longer when a knock at the door brought him back from his thoughts, likely his servants coming to prepare him for the day. With a final sigh, he straightens in his chair, setting the crown atop his lap. "Enter," he calls, voice steady, betraying none of his inner thoughts, ensuring his regal appearance was unsullied still.

✣ AUTHORS NOTE   ✣
Okay, okay so this was super fun to write... and a good distraction from work. Oops. I didn't want to go overboard so I kept it at around the same length of a wattpad comment.

No worries if I don't get the role, I won't take it personally! I'm just excited to be a part of the role-play whether that's as a high lord or not.
