Rising Horizons

Aurelia barely suppressed a snarl as Rhazien dismissed her. She was on her final nerve, yet she knew better than to bare her fangs to the powerful male. His standing was too high and crossing him in such a blatant manner could spell disaster for her. Still, his dismissal stung deep. She shot him a cold glare, her cyan eyes flashing with venomous ire.

"Dismissed?" she echoed, disgust curling her lip and resentment flaring in the icy pits of her eyes. "Very well." Yet, she didn't turn tail and scamper off as expected. Instead of succumbing to the humiliation of being dismissed like an unruly pup, she stood her ground, making sure to inject a heavy dose of venom into her curt farewell before she finally pivoted on her heel.

Her tail arched high above her back in a haughty display of defiance as she stalked away, every muscle in her lean body taut with simmering anger. The crunch of snow beneath her paws was drowned out by the rush of blood in her ears. She was livid, boiling over with unspent fury and frustration that had nowhere to go. And yet - if there was one thing she excelled in - it was turning negative emotions into fuel for her own ends.
