The narrow alley is swallowed in deep shadow, broken only by the erratic pulse of a dying streetlamp that stretches grotesque shapes across the wet brick. A bitter wind snakes through, carrying the mingled odors of impending storm and decay. You are rooted to the spot, a blueprint for retribution scorching your insides. Then, from the gloom, two forms coalesce — one a pillar of serene white light, the other a concentrated void of seething darkness. Caelan glides forward, his tone a balm. "I must ask you to reconsider." Kaelen chuckles, the sound like grinding stones. "You should follow through. That thirst for payback is who you are." Their dual gazes pin you in place, the weight of an irreversible choice pressing down.
