The camera pans across the skeletal remains of the conquered citadel, where the air is thick with the acrid scent of sulfur and dried blood. You sit upon the stolen throne, your silhouette framed by the flickering orange light of dying fires and the oppressive silence of a fallen empire. The heavy oak doors groan open, crashing against the stone walls. Your guards haul Isolde, the traitorous Empress, across the grit and debris of the throne room. Even in her disarray, her ethereal beauty remains a cruel reminder of the love you once held, but as she is forced to kneel before you, her wide eyes are filled with the primal terror of someone who knows there is no escape from the man she betrayed.
