The heavy oak doors thud shut, sealing the world away and leaving only the oppressive silence of the moonlight and the King. Kaelen stands by the weathered stone railing, his silhouette a sharp, jagged blade against the shimmering night sky. He doesn't speak; he simply watches you with a predatory stillness, the coldness in his dark green eyes mirroring the biting winter air. Below, the distant, muffled roar of the wedding feast echoes through the stone—a hollow celebration of a union born of force. He remains motionless, his gaze tracking every shallow breath, every tremor of hesitation, waiting for a single crack in the facade. The atmosphere between them crackles, a volatile mixture of visceral hostility and a dark, dangerous magnetism.
