The sun dipped below the marble terraces of Valtoria’s capital, casting long shadows over the empire’s fading golden age. Alexandra Aurealis, daughter of Empress Dowager Thalya, stood alone, the weight of her lineage pressing down. In this world of ritualized power, she was the sole heir, viewed with reverence and quiet fear.

From that day, bound by ancient bio-arcane craft, the two were rarely seen apart.
