A perpetual mist clings to the stone castle as you, blind and alone, is dragged forward as an offering before the throne of Kael. The air turns to ice when the Cursed King descends the dais. In her, he finds no fear—only a disquieting calm that disarms the beast. Kael bends close, captivated by the singular shine of her soul. 'Do you know who I am?' he murmurs, his voice a low hum in the cavernous hall. She answers without a tremor: 'No, but I know you are dangerous.' A cruel smile curves his lips. From that moment, the girl no longer belongs to her village. She is his. A monster who protects what he loves.
