LIKE ICARUS LOVED THE SUN -
"Drinks on the new Sovereign!"
Came the call from across the lush green grass between the Court and the lake. It was a veritable display of all Denocte had to offer - a wild carnival of music, dancing, drinking and art that had drawn Reichenbach in like a moth to a flame. The night sky burned like wildfire, a sea of stars that burned with a distinct ferocity burnishing the event down below and catching in the crook of Reich's broad grin. Sovereign. The word, the title... he hadn't thought it would fit until he had carved it into his heart for the desire of it. They had come to a decision, the whole court, after seeing the subtle signs of change beginning in the Day Court - they had a new Sovereign, albeit one of strict military performance, why not Denocte? It had been so long since Rhen had vanished that the idea was instantly agreed upon, and the members of his court had begun to vote. Who knew what had made them vote for him - the orphan boy whom had arrived with little more than dreams clenched in his bruised fist.
Perhaps it was that Reichenbach knew almost all of the court by name - making a point to remember small details such as family members names or recalling their favourite kind of drink. In fact, Reich had unknowingly monitored the happenings of Denocte for as long as he could remember. Or maybe it had something to do with his dedication to their deity, Calligo, taking his own offerings to lay at her temple once a month, for the prosperity of Denocte and the safety of its citizens. It could have simply been because Reichenbach was one of them - loud mouthed, honey throated and wild. His wide grin as he celebrated with all of them was honest, genuine, overjoyed... perhaps a little glazed and wild.
This certainly wasn't Solterra, with it's military regime and strict rules - but Denocte had never been like the other courts. Theirs was a court made for the dreamers, the outcasts and the wild at heart. It thrummed with life, vibrant, it's song both clamouring and calm, a steady hum of beauty that Reich wouldn't have given up for the world. Theirs was a wild life, but a good one.
"To Denocte and The Night Court!" he toasted, his deep rumble of laughter heard even over the thrum of music.
Perhaps... perhaps it was because he was so easy to love, that wild thing bursting with life and song, enchanting and inescapable.
Open to all!! Come meet your new Sovereign xx
@Lothaire @Noxia @Camdis -- just tagging the few he has already met!
If you want to say your character has a history with Reich / knows him at all, please do! Reichenbach takes pride in knowing the members of his court! ALSO all positions are currently open so if anyone is interested I would LOVE to hear your thoughts about where your characters will fit into the court! xx
