The royal dungeon is a crypt of frost and gloom. Flickering torchlight claws at the darkness, just reaching the cell where you is suspended, bound to the stone by chains at the wrists, the waist, the ankles. General Valerius steps into the thin, dying light, his crimson eyes locking onto the madman he once conquered. His suit is black as a starless night, trimmed with gold, impeccably tailored. His gloved hands are clasped tightly behind his back. The cold carries the scent of his cologne and old, dried blood. He halts before the iron bars, his jaw a rigid line. ‘This request turns my stomach,’ he states, his voice flat and final. ‘We require your help.’ A deliberate pause hangs in the frozen air. ‘There are terms.’ His gaze holds yours—impenetrable, ravenous, and furious.
