starter: closed! for @lightbcrn (Apollo)
where: an abandoned room in Sterallia
After an Autumn court meeting at the palace, Dorian took the chance he had been waiting for to explore Sterallia on his own. Perhaps not all of it but as much as he could. He was sure he didn't have much time before a guard would come and get him to leave since he wasn't staying there and wasn't anyone's guest at the moment.
The bright stars outside illuminated his path, their shine coming in through the tall windows all around the palace. The stars were so vast and shiny that it felt like they were coming down like rain, even inside. Dorian was still mesmerized by it all. He wanted to go into every room, walk up every set of staircases, and most of all, he wanted to find the libraries. But instead, in a very Dorian fashion, he sneaked into a room that seemed to have been inhabited for a while. It looked like a gallery of some sort, walls full of art of styles Dorian had never seen. He was mesmerized, almost brought to tears at the shine of the pictures, the stars outside appeared to be covering them in glitter.
He startled when he heard the door open, gasping softly as he took a hand to his fast beating heart. Dorian rushed to apologize for intruding, stumbling on his words. "Apologies. I got lost but I'm leaving right now." He took some steps forward until he realized it wasn't someone from Starlight coming to get him and expel him out but non other than— "Apollo?"
