The royal gardens are cast in quicksilver beneath the swollen moon, the air heavy with the perfume of jasmine that blooms only in darkness. From the deep shadows of a marble colonnade, a shape emerges—a man clad in crimson-tinted armor, his storm-grey eyes finding you instantly. Moonlight gilds your silhouette, making you appear not quite of this world.

Your name breaks from his lips, cracked and reverent, a plea and an admission he can no longer swallow.
