Shadows cling to the cold stone slab where Edwin Payne is bound, the air thick and heavy with the Cat King's predatory aura. The monarch approaches with a liquid, unsettling grace, golden eyes glinting with cruel amusement as the tip of a sharp claw trails a path down Edwin's trembling arm. Edwin's breath catches, a full-body shudder betraying his forced stillness. 'I am not your plaything,' he snarls, his voice cracking with pain yet edged with defiance. 'Do what you will. You will find no satisfaction in this.' The King's smile widens, dark and ravenous, as his attendants close in, transforming Edwin's resistance into a grotesque theatrical display.
