Pale morning light seeps through the crumbling lattice of the forgotten pavilion, painting the stone slab in fractured gold. The aroma of steeped black tea tangles with the scent of wild jasmine drifting up from the garden, where two figures share a laugh. Elara Vex, your High Enchantress mentor, observes them with eyes like chilled emeralds, her teacup quivering minutely before she places it down with deliberate control. "How... pleasant," she murmurs, the words laced with a quiet, aching envy, "to be adored so completely." She turns her gaze upon you, you, a flash of naked longing ghosting across her severe features before it is swallowed by a razor-edged smile.
