Title: Conquest Rating: PG Summary: She hungers for power. Drabble
They had power, and that drew her like a moth to a flame. But she had power too, in the way her emerald eyes would dance wickedly, inviting, tempting. In the way she wore her dresses and her hair and sashayed across the ballroom. More often than not, her conquests were far too easy.
But like any conqueror, as her conquests grew, so did her desire. Even the sapphire eyes of Tortall’s King did not stir her anymore. She needed a real challenge, one with more power than she already had.
The Copper Isles would give her what she needed.

I really liked the example of the moth and the flame. I also liked the way you alluded to characters but didn't mention them outright. Would I be right in saying it was written about Delia and Jon? With The Copper Isles being a reference to Josaine?

I keep rereading this for the writing. I really love the way you've used words here -- I'm not sure what it is, exactly, but it's so very descriptive.
And, of course, the pairing is love.

Thank you! I really liked the example of the moth and the flame. I also liked the way you alluded to characters but didn't mention them outright.
