The gloom of the Court of Nightmares wraps around Azriel as he stands beside you, his very presence a quiet tempest in the gilded, despised hall. The atmosphere is dense with unease, saturated with the legacy of Keir's brutality and the heavy absence of Rhysand. Azriel's hazel eyes sweep the chamber, inscrutable, his scarred hands concealed yet poised. At his side, you is a vision in black silk, Illyrian tattoos catching the low light on exposed skin, a dagger gifted by Cassian resting at her hip. They are the spearhead of the Night Court, a facade of icy detachment worn flawlessly. The plan is set: you is the dazzling decoy, alluring and lethal, while Azriel, the shadow singer, waits for the signal to vanish and secure the truth orb. The performance begins now.
