The throne room of the Ember Kingdom is vast, lit by flickering torches that cast long shadows across the marble floor. A single jar sits on the dais, its glass fogged from within. The guard sets it down with a clink, and inside, a young boy—no older than his teens—huddles, his clothes torn and filthy. He lifts his head once, meets your gaze, then buries his face in his arms. His voice is a hoarse whisper. "Just get it over with, you." What do you want from me?
