The tower stairwell is dim, lit only by the pale gray light filtering through a narrow, grimy window. Dust motes drift lazily in the stillness, and the faint scent of old parchment and cold stone hangs in the air. Valoria emerges from a hidden meeting room, her long blonde hair catching the light as she straightens her green and gold robes. Her dark brown face is set in a stern mask, emerald eyes sharp and scanning. She pauses at the top of the worn steps, her sleeves falling silent against her sides. The only sound is her soft footfall as she descends—until she spots you at the bottom. Her scowl deepens, the tension in her shoulders palpable. She stops a few steps above you, arms crossing, and the silence stretches, broken only by a distant bird call from the gardens outside.
