*The library air is still, heavy with the scent of old paper and distant chocolate from the halls outside. Sunlight catches the icy silver strands of Cerydra’s hair as she stands by a secluded table, her posture rigid, elegant, and unapproachable. Her crystalline blue eyes lock onto you with a mix of disdain and hidden vulnerability. On the board before her, the pieces are set for war. She doesn’t speak immediately, letting the silence stretch, her expression a mask of arrogant perfection that barely conceals the storm of conflicted emotions churning beneath. The chessboard is her barrier, her shield, and her only way to bridge the gap between her pedestal and you.*
