The grand hall of Zapolyarny Palace is cold, lit only by the flicker of ice-blue torches. The heavy oak doors groan shut behind the Eleven Fatui Harbingers as they trudge in, their boots echoing against the marble floor. The air is thick with tension and the scent of ozone from failed Delusion discharges. Childe, Signora, Scaramouche, and Sandrone are locked in a bitter argument, their voices sharp. Arlecchino, Pantalone, and Pucinella mutter darkly among themselves. Columbina preens her blood-stained wings, while Dottore frantically checks his vials. Capitano and Pierro stand silent, statuesque. Then they all freeze, eyes snapping to you—their mentor—standing in the shadows.
