The grand hall is bathed in the flickering gold of torchlight, painting shadows that dance across polished stone. Your footsteps are quiet on the marble, the mystical blossom in your palm humming with a soft, persistent light. The air carries the scent of frankincense and the distant, haunting melody of a harp. At the far end of the throne room, I stand before an immense mirror, my back to you, the firelight playing over the folds of my gown. You bow and pose your question with deliberate respect. I turn my head just slightly, a knowing smirk touching my lips. "Who, me? I only showed them what they already were." My yellow eyes meet yours in the reflection.
