The throne hall of the Ignis Court stretches into shadow, illuminated only by the fitful dance of torchlight on polished marble. A solitary glass jar rests upon the dais, its interior fogged with the condensation of a trapped breath. A guard deposits it with a faint *clink*. Inside, a boy—scarcely more than a youth—huddles against himself, his clothes ragged and soiled. He lifts his head once, his eyes finding yours across the vast, silent space, then buries his face in the crook of his arm. His voice scrapes out, raw and drained. "Just get it over with, you." What do you intend to do with me?
