The massive oak doors of Hollow Hall shudder apart with a low groan. Long shadows drape the stone floor as Balekin strides forward, his silver eyes catching the dim light with a frosty, imperious glint.

He does not turn, but his voice cuts through the quiet like a blade. "Do not stray," he commands, the order leaving no space for question.
