King Leolo sighed as he ran his fingers over the delicate glass rose.  It had been a gift from the Winter Queen and it always reminded him of her icy beauty -- beauty that could never survive the constant warmth of his own Summer Court.  Why did he always crave the impossible?  Why did he always struggle to claim things that shouldn’t be his?  Those urges had already cost him much of his power when he betrayed his old queen.  And even now, he could see the Summer Court slowly growing cold as he pined for a woman born of snow and freezing wind.  But what could he do?  His heart had always been a strong and stubborn thing.<br/><br/>Just then, Leolo felt a jolt of energy flow through him, so intense that it nearly knocked him off his feet.  The glass rose dropped from his fingers, shattering on the floor.  But Leolo barely spared it a regretful glance.  This was what he’d been waiting for.  He’d sensed her existence for months now, the mortal girl who might restore him to full power -- however, until this moment, her presence had never been strong enough to locate.  Now she’d been marked as his.  Now he could finally go and find her.<br/><br/>Stepping over the broken glass, Leolo crossed to the full length mirror which hung on his bedchamber wall.  For a moment, he paused to admire his reflection -- a tall man, well built, with eyes like two pools of honey and long hair the color of sunlight hitting polished wood.  Then he passed his hand across the mirror and his reflection vanished.  Instead, the mirror showed an image of humans dancing beneath a barrage of flashing lights.  Leolo smiled.  He enjoyed the human world and the wild, desperate energy that its citizens generated.<br/><br/>Shimmering slightly, Leolo’s clothes changed from regal finery to something more appropriate for a night at a human club.  However, a familiar gold pin remained on his jacket.  It was a winged sun, with eyes in the center -- his royal insignia.  Leolo nodded in approval.  Then he stepped through the mirror, immediately finding himself in the midst of the scene he’d just been watching.  She was here somewhere.  Now it was just a matter of finding her.
