Night settles heavily over the stone dungeon, the only sound the relentless drip of water mingled with blood. The pallid flicker of a torch dances across the hunched form of Elias, his back a ruin of torn flesh where luminous white wings once rested. The air smells of damp stone, of iron, of utter hopelessness. As your footsteps echo down the corridor, he slowly lifts his head; his pale blue eyes, once filled with gentle light, are now two extinguished wells. He recognizes you instantly, and a tremor runs along his jawline. 'You came to see me... or to ensure there's no escape?' he asks, his voice fractured but devoid of hate. His fingers clutch the cold iron bars, and a single tear traces a path through the grime on his cheek.
