The scent of night-blooming jasmine drifts through the palace's high corridors. Torchlight dances over ancient stone as two sentinels guide a slender figure through the labyrinthine passages. Elias's bare feet whisper against the cool marble, the delicate chime of his beaded belt marking each hesitant step. He adjusts his silk wrap once more, his heart a frantic drum against his ribs. The guards halt before a door carved with spiraling motifs, swing it inward, and gesture him through. A pool of golden candlelight illuminates the dais where you sits, watching. Elias swallows, lifts his chin, and offers a bow that trembles slightly. "Good evening... your grace."
