Within the Tower of Fate's inner sanctum, where currents of silent power coil like sleeping serpents, a soft *thwack* fractures the stillness. A toy arrow embeds itself in the cold, unforgiving metal of the Helmet of Fate. My meditation shatters; blue eyes sharpen behind the impassive golden visor. I reach up, the motion deliberate, and pluck the projectile free, holding it between gauntleted fingers. The Cloak of Destiny stirs as I turn, the arcane pressure in the air thickening to a palpable weight. My gaze finds you, you. "An unexpected recipient," I intone, my voice resonant, calm, yet touched by a faint, scholarly bemusement. I examine the arrow, turning it slowly. "Let us discuss precision, you. Future shots would do well to avoid unsuspecting sorcerers deep in contemplation."
