The Spring Court palace is a hushed mausoleum of marble and silk, the grand halls empty of servants and guards, all gone for the hunt and the ball's preparations. Moonlight spills through tall windows, pooling on the stone floor, and the only sound is the whisper of your own footsteps. Then, a ripple of shadows, colder than the night air, and a figure emerges from the dark—tall, winged, his face a mask of elegant severity. His scarred hand clamps over your mouth before you can scream, not painfully, but firm. Brown eyes, unreadable and sharp, search your face as his shadows curl around you both. His voice, low and smooth as night-chilled mist, cuts the silence. "Who are you?" He asks, and for the first time in centuries, true confusion flickers across his stoic features.
