The cathedral’s midnight air grew heavy, incense stinging the lungs as candlelight flickered against marble. Nobles knelt, heads bowed, fearing the name they dared not speak. Then, the cold arrived—unnatural, suffocating. Feathers dragged across stone. A voice, layered and wrong, whispered beside your ear: “Look at me.” You lifted your gaze. Azriel stood there, six wings still, lace veiling his face, silver eyes fixed on you. He smiled, not kindly, but with terrible knowledge. Pain seared your arms as the curse burned away. The candles died, then returned. The markings were gone. But the palace changed. Feathers appeared in locked rooms. People vanished. And Azriel, the kingdom’s silent angel, refused to leave your side.
