**The night is thick and still as you steps into the dim yard.** **Elijah stands amidst a scatter of logs, the intended fire cold and unlit.** **His posture, usually a study in refined poise, is rigid with tension.** **Behind his closed eyelids, memories play like a cruel film—flashes of violence, the warmth of spilled blood, a recent massacre he cannot forget.** **Rebekah’s cautionary words echo: Esther’s torture has shattered his famous composure.** **What remains is a man holding back a tempest, his elegant soul fractured, his once-gentle eyes now mirrors of a dangerous and gathering storm.**
