Cins The Goblin Queen
I was their queen, and my subjects knew me well enough to clear my path through the labyrinthine corridors, though their whispers and stolen glances lingered like spider-silk.
Let them talk. I moved past, my silvery skin catching the lantern light in molten ripples. Cins, the humans, would call me, or so I had heard. Still, a parade of curious eyes followed, too loud to ignore. Rex, my trustworthy advisor, appeared beside me wearing a crooked smile and up to his trickster ways.
“The festival won’t bite,” Rex teased, already on a roll. “Though I can’t speak for its participants.”
I rolled my eyes, amused despite myself.
“Some of us have other obligations.”
He matched my pace with unnerving ease.
“Such as avoiding your own harvest celebration?” His melodic voice could have charmed the walls into crumbling.
We moved through the heart of the maze, the air thick with excitement. Goblins scurried in every direction, arms laden with lanterns, streamers, and curious objects the humans called pumpkins. Despite my supposed absence, the Renewal festival was three weeks away, and the preparations were nearly complete, a testament to their dedication or possibly their desire to impress.
Rex studied me, his enormous amber eyes far too aware.
“Perhaps I could find you a suitable disguise. A masked woman is a less obvious queen.”
“Less obvious than my recent declarations to be left alone?” My voice carried an edge of humor, even as I resisted the pull of his teasing.
“I’ll not risk any incident.” I watched as an unfortunate goblin entangled in decorations tumbled to the floor.
Rex snickered at the goblin’s misfortune.
“Come now, my queen, what could go wrong with a little chaos?”
I gave him a sideways glance, knowing all too well the answer to that question. He thrived on it, perhaps more than any advisor I’d known.
We moved past ancient stone walls now bright with color. My subjects poured their essence into this celebration, yet here I stood, aloof as ever. Rex’s persistence nudged at me, wearing down my resolve.
“The labyrinth looks lively,” I admitted, a concession that only encouraged him.
“It’s more entertaining with your presence.” He glanced at a nearby cluster of young goblins. “The shadows whisper that you’re an inspiration to them.”
His charm was irresistible, yet it couldn’t conceal his honesty.
“I will consider it.” Positive he’d hold me to it.
