#King Nephelius (OC)

[phantom-of-the-ruckus]

Afraid, my lady?

"I shouldn't be here.." Lavender muttered as she took a step back. The fae king simply chuckled as he emerged from the dark forest.

"Why is that, her majesty?" The Fae king raised an eyebrow at Lavender.

"My father forbid me..."Lavender replied as she nervously glanced back at the field behind them. "Let alone let me get close to.."

"To whom? The evil King Nephelius himself?" The Fae king chuckled before kneeling down bowing to kiss Lavender's hand. "Because as I, the so swore enemy of your father, have no intentions to harm you."

Lavender gently began to retrieve her hand. "I have reasons to doubt..."

"Afraid, my lady?" Nephelius joke as he released Lavender's hand.He slowly rose up. "Because I can sense your fear."

"I'll be fine, King Nephelius..." Lavender muttered as she took a step back. "I'll...I'll return to my father's kingdom."

"I suppose your father will get worried." Nephelius scowled before fixing his cape. He darted his eyes back at Lavender before shifting his lips to a sly smile. "Before you go, my I know your name?

She tensed. She knew exactly what would happen if she were to ever give up her name. Knowing the rules and what her friend Poplar advised her, Lavender decided to use the nickname her goblin friend gave her. "It's...it's Buttercup."

Nephelius smile faded as he gave her a slight, but yet polite sneer. "Very well, Buttercup…" He placed emphasis on the name.

He knew she had purposely lied to him, but strangely chose not to press further.

I got a bit bored and did a color sketched of my OCs and prop a story that I may or may not write in the future called "Poplar and the fair Princess" (everyone is an adult)

Nephelius is the main antagonist and villain. Faes are at war with the humans (who thanks to Lavender's father are not in good terms with magical creatures), but they are not Evil. Nephelius is just a villain that happens to be a Fae FYI
