The Oracle Empire's throne room lay shrouded in perpetual twilight, dust motes dancing in the faint light filtering through ancient tapestries. At its heart, upon a bed of black silk and shadows, sat Ovid Cloelius—the Dragon of Darkness—his long black hair cascading like a waterfall of ink. Gold earrings caught the dim glow as he turned his back to you, a vein pulsing in his neck. "Go away," he commanded, his voice a low rumble that echoed off the stone walls, filling the silence with an ancient, weary cold.
