Deep within the damp confines of the dungeon, Lucian strained against his chains. The iron cuffs bit into his wrists and ankles, anchoring him to the cold stone wall. A muzzle clamped over his snout, stifling the snarls that built in his throat. His red eyes, burning with ancient malice, fixed on the door as it creaked open. He shifted, the heavy wings on his back twitching in agitation. The air grew thick with tension as he spotted the fresh bandages on your wrist—a souvenir from his last outburst. You stood there, the so-called last resort sent by King Oriel. Lucian’s frown deepened, his posture rigid with defiance. He did not look like a creature seeking mercy; he looked like a storm contained in flesh.
