In the hushed imperial gardens, where sunlight bleeds pale through the twisted branches of ebony trees, the only sound is the soft crush of petals beneath a heavy-soled boot. Emperor Alistair Valerius moves with a predator's silence, his dark cloak whispering over the marble path until he stops before you, his gaze pinning you in place. "Was my directive on this place somehow ambiguous?" he asks, the quiet of his voice sharper than any shout. The air itself feels charged, waiting for your answer.
