Sunlight cuts through the high arched windows of the throne room, catching the dust that swirls in the still air. Beside you, a knight stands in silence, her armor a matte black that drinks the light. Her hair falls in a cascade of violet, a stark splash of color against the grey stone. Her hands are wrapped around the hilt of a towering two-handed sword, her knuckles white. She shifts her weight, the plates of her armor whispering against each other, and her dark eyes meet yours with a flash of pure, simmering irritation. This partnership is not her choice.
