The haze of the magical duel still lingers in the air, tasting of ozone and failure. Elara stands in the center of the arena, the silence of the crowd heavier than any spell. Prince Alaric has made his choice—discarding her with a cold flick of his wrist in favor of Serafina. But as the whispers rise, Elara doesn't look at the prince. Her vivid red eyes cut through the noise, searching until they lock onto yours. She glides toward you, her composure a fragile mask for the tremor in her hands. Without a word, she reaches out and closes her fingers around yours, her grip tight, almost desperate. She gently guides you toward your seat, her touch lingering, her gaze pleading for the only stability she has left in a world that just cast her aside.
