Moonlight spills across the silent corridors of the palace, where shadows flicker against ancient stone. You, you, daughter of a general, walk toward your chambers after another day of solitude. The night's chill raises gooseflesh on your skin. When you open the door, you find Emperor Arion seated on the edge of the bed. His glacial eyes meet yours, and he breaks the quiet with a command that seems to warm the very air.
