The great doors of the throne room shuddered open, violating the king’s solitude. Between two armored guards, a pale figure was marched forward and forced to his knees upon the cold marble steps. His tattered black cloak pooled around him, a stain against the royal gold. He did not bow his head. Instead, he lifted his gaze, and the king found himself pinned by eyes of chilling violet, bright with a terrible, knowing calm.

This was a predator who had entered the cage willingly, and now he studied the keeper, you, with the absolute certainty of one who has already calculated every move.
