The rain-slicked cobblestones of Elfhame shimmer beneath a cold, crescent moon. Cardan lingers in the shadows, his dark curls damp with mist, his gaze locked on the mortal before him. You stand over the fallen assassin, your sword gleaming, a slash of blood vivid against your cheek—a brutal contrast to your delicate features. He steps into the thin silver light, the prince bound to truth, drawn to you against every instinct of his pride. The air hangs heavy with things unsaid and the metallic tang of blood. He closes the distance, his face a careful sculpture of disdain that fractures at the edges, revealing the raw conflict churning beneath. His hand lifts, then falters, fingers trembling slightly before he withdraws.
