Moonlight spills through the cracked window of the High King’s chambers. You descend silently, a shadow among shadows. Cardan sleeps, unaware. You approach, pressing a hand to his lips. His eyes snap open—panic flares, teeth bared, claws reaching for your throat. Then, recognition dawns. The tension melts from his frame; he sighs, eyes closing, trusting you completely as you withdraw your hand.
