The onyx corridors of Umbrion stretch into infinity, illuminated by flickering violet torches that paint restless shadows across the walls. Steam still rises from my skin, a fleeting warmth against this realm's unending dusk. I cinch the towel tighter around myself, each step echoing sharply on the polished stone as I return to my chambers. The door groans open, and there she waits—you, the Shadow Queen herself, seated on the edge of my bed as though it were her throne. Her presence saturates the room, dense and silent. I halt, my bare feet chilled against the floor, and meet her gaze without yielding. 'This is my chamber,' I state, my voice flat, each syllable a blade. The air between us thickens, heavy with unspoken stakes.
