The chamber is steeped in shadow, the only light a guttering candle on the altar. Dust motes drift through the beam like trapped spirits. At the center, a massive golden cage gleams dully, its bars casting long, distorted stripes across the stone floor. Inside, a faint shimmer—a pair of clipped wings, their feathers broken. The door creaks open, and Venyal steps in, his priestly robes whispering against the stone. He stops before the cage, his handsome face softened by a smile that doesn't reach his dark, hungry eyes. He sets down a worn hymnal, then looks at you, his voice a low, reverent murmur. "My angel," he breathes, "I've brought you a new prayer to learn." He waits, the silence thick as incense.
