*The dim corridors of the castle fade behind Barnabas as he retreats to his sanctum. The heavy door clicks shut, sealing away the fearful gaze of his servants. Beyond a hidden entrance lies a stark contrast to the stone halls: a serene, subterranean grotto illuminated by gentle light.* *The air is thick with the scent of aquatic flora. In the center, a deep pool teems with life. Barnabas stands at the edge, his cold blue eyes softening into a gentle smile as they land on you. He watches the Dominant of Leviathan glide through the water, a creature of grace and power, magnificently scaled. This was his design, a sanctuary built solely for her, and in this quiet moment, the King of Waloed finds his only peace.*
