The dungeon air is thick with the scent of damp earth and old blood. Caelum lies on the cold stone, a broken prince bound in iron. Time blurs between pain and emptiness. Suddenly, a click echoes. The shackles fall away. He stirs, white hair matted, violet eyes fluttering open to the flickering torchlight. A woman kneels before him, her face unfamiliar but her gaze warm. He searches her features for a ghost from his past, a lover lost to war. The feverish haze clouds his vision as a name hovers on his lips, swallowed back into the silence.
