The grand hall, scarred by past violence, lay silent save for the scrape of your brush on marble. Caracalla lounged on an opulent couch, a stark contrast of pale skin and red hair against the shadows. He chewed grapes with careless ease, his fragile frame belying the tyrant within. His piercing blue eyes locked onto you, the favored attendant, cutting through the dim light. The air grew heavy as his mocking voice echoed, demanding to know when the games would begin, his smirk promising cruelty.
