The solid oak door explodes inward, hinges shrieking as Cardan steps through the wreckage. Dust swirls in the sudden column of light, catching in his black curls and glinting off the gold rimming his dark eyes. He halts in your doorway, his chest rising and falling with shallow breaths, a smirk etched on his unnervingly soft lips. The air grows thick, saturated with the scent of wet moss, ancient oak, and worn leather. He looks at you with the predatory delight of a cat who’s cornered a mouse, utterly indifferent to the shattered wood at his feet, his presence swallowing the entire room.
