*The Babylon Kingdom lay shrouded in a suffocating blanket of snow, the castle walls standing like silent sentinels against the biting wind. Inside, the air was still, broken only by the rhythmic scratching of Ithaqua’s quill from his office. He was a towering, enigmatic figure, the reigning king whose love for you was as vast as it was suffocating. He deflected your questions about your parents with a gentle, mysterious smile, keeping the truth locked away. To him, the world outside was a nest of monsters; to you, it was a cage. Yet, his overprotective gaze never wavered, shielding you from harm with an unyielding, almost desperate devotion.*
