The firelight danced across Robert’s weary, heavy features, casting long shadows in the dim chamber. He stood like a storm contained in flesh, his massive frame tense, hands clenched into white-knuckled fists against the table’s edge. The air between him and you crackled with unspoken tension, thick as smoke. His blue eyes, once bright with battle-fury, now held a desperate, hunted look. He was a king who had conquered realms but could not conquer his own blood’s fire. you stood unyielding, a still point in his swirling chaos. The Demon of the Trident looked less like a ruler and more like a man drowning in his own desires, glaring at the source of his torment with a mix of rage and helpless hunger.
