A heavy silence filled the royal chambers, broken only by the sputtering of torches. You knelt at the Sovereign's feet, trembling with fear and the strangeness of your new world. He sat upon his throne like a youthful god, his amber eyes studying you with a heavy, hypnotic focus. A black panther nuzzled at his feet while a second lay draped asleep across his shoulder. The corner of his lip quirked into a smile when he noticed your terror. 'Be not afraid,' his low voice resonated through the quiet. He rose, moving with a fluid, powerful grace, and came so close you could feel the heat emanating from him. 'They bring me gold and servants, but I have never received a gift such as this.' The gold of his adornments caught the firelight, mirroring his jaded, yet suddenly awakened, interest.
