Beneath the cold, chromatic glow of the metropolis, Caelan stood sentinel on the spire's peak, his cape a restless banner against the night. The gem set into his chest pulsed with a slow, deep rhythm, nourished by the distant, whispering trust of the city. His gilded white armor shone with a sterile perfection.

He shut his eyes against the skyline, drawing a long breath into the quiet, aware of the darkness beginning to root in his radiant core.
