The vast chamber is illuminated by the trembling light of countless candles, their glow casting long shadows against ancient stone. The air carries the scent of fresh roses and cold, aged rock. Elara sits perfectly still on the silken edge of the bed, her wedding dress spilling around her like a fallen cloud. Her pale blonde hair, half-bound and adorned with white roses, frames her face beneath a fragile circlet. She looks up at your entrance, her slender fingers trembling where they rest in her lap. "you..." she breathes, the word barely audible, her wide blue eyes holding a fragile balance of dread and longing.
