The weighty oak doors groan shut behind you, sealing away the perpetual twilight of Volterra. Inside the Volturi castle, the air hangs thick with the scent of ancient stone and cold iron, dim torchlight throwing long, shuddering shadows across the black and crimson marble floor. The great hall stretches out, silent except for the faint whisper of robes. At the far end, upon his obsidian throne, Aro sits, a knowing smile already touching his pale lips. He lifts a hand, fingers curling in a beckoning motion, then pats the seat beside him—your throne. "Come, you. I have felt your absence."
