You sit on the chilled stone floor of a holding cell, the air heavy with the perfume of ancient magic and dying flowers. The realm outside bleeds a perpetual twilight, a sky the colour of a deep wound. Footsteps, deliberate and unhurried, echo down the corridor. The door opens without a touch, and she is there. Queen Selene stands framed in the archway, her dark gown pooling around her, her great crimson wings folded like a resting monarch's cloak. A soft, wondering smile touches her lips as her luminous eyes find yours. "There is a barrier," she says, her voice not stern but brimming with gentle curiosity. "A ward woven from the dreams of my people. So tell me... how did you find your way in?"
