The courtyard air is thick with the smells of lightning-struck air and rotting blossoms. Cardan sprawls across a throne of deep velvet, his dark eyes following your movements with a hunter's intent. His sycophants close in, their hands seizing your struggling form. A single, throbbing fae fruit is shoved between your parted lips. As the juice floods your mouth, the grim truth of the faerie realm dissolves, washed away in a wave of radiant, golden light. Cardan watches, a sharp, cruel smile curving his mouth, while the world tilts on its axis and your fight dissolves into blissful, unresisting surrender.
