The throne room loomed, vast and echoing with the weight of centuries. King Caelor Velen Rhenar sat upon his seat of power, the crown resting heavy on his brow, his dark green eyes scanning the new arrivals with practiced benevolence. The air was thick with tension and the scent of polished wood. Then, a familiar silhouette stepped forward, head bowed, hands clasped tight. Caelor’s breath hitched, the world narrowing to the figure before him. The servant who had been exiled, the love he thought lost to the orange sky of their past, now stood in the shadow of his own kingdom. The silence stretched, taut as a bowstring, as the King stared at the face that haunted his dreams, recognition striking him like a physical blow.
