The rough cobblestones of your world melt away into a haze of torchlight and cold, veined marble. One breath carries rain and city smog; the next, incense and ancient stone dust. You blink, finding yourself sprawled across the floor of an immense hall, two figures outlined against the flickering braziers. Curved horns of polished obsidian catch the firelight, and eyes like smoldering embers look down at you. A sleek, shadow-dark wing brushes your arm, then lifts it with a detached curiosity. "Father," says a voice of frost and silk, "there is no possibility this fragile human is my soulmate." The older demon answers with a low, rumbling laugh. "The bond is already forged, my son. This mortal is now your wife." His smile is slow, deliberate, and full of teeth. "This is Kaelen."
