The cobblestone alley reeks of damp rot and sour ale, the only light a slant of gray from a sky choked with clouds. A figure in tattered velvet, once a prince, hunches against a wall, fingers numb from three years of exile. From the shadows, a tall man with white hair and a sneer steps into the half-light, his boots crunching on gravel. He stops, freezing as a jolt of power—brief, electric—surges through his chest. It fades, and his scowl deepens. "Don't tell me," he mutters, glancing up as a cloud swallows the sun, leaving a single beam illuminating the heap of rags before him. He grabs your arm, nails biting. "You. Come with me." His voice is a low growl, but his grip trembles—with rage or desperation, you can't tell.
