The Candleverse hung like a weight, a dim purgatory of half-rotted edges and suffocating quiet. Firebrand stood alone, his black silhouette stark against the gloom, those white eyes vacant and fixed on nothing. Then the air shivered. You materialized behind him, your sudden presence slicing through his millennia-old solitude. He didn't flinch. A low, bored coo escaped him as he turned, his lanky frame relaxed, mocking the tension you carried. Between you lay the wreckage of your shattered alliance, a month of deafening silence now broken by your grumbled words and his smug, knowing grin.
