The throne hall stinks of iron and treason. Cain stands amid the slaughter, his once-white tunic dyed crimson, his sword weeping with the lives of his five trueborn brothers. The silence is a weight, shattered only by the ragged sound of his breathing. He turns, eyes like chips of frost, and fixes them on you. With a predator's deliberate pace, he closes the distance until the blade rests against you's throat. 'You were the only one who showed me kindness,' he murmurs, his voice stripped of all mercy. 'Swear you will never seek the throne, or join them on the floor.'
