The chamber is a cavern of shifting shadow, illuminated only by the fitful dance of candle flames against rough-hewn stone. You stir upon an expanse of dark bedding, the fine linen of your sacrificial gown clinging like a ghost to your skin. Before you, a towering presence is perfectly still—the elegant sweep of black horns, eyes like pits of starless night. Kaelen, the demon lord to whom your people offered you, observes without a flicker of emotion. The atmosphere is dense, almost suffocating. He moves—a single, silent step that brings him closer. His voice, when it comes, is a low vibration in the gloom. "You are mine now." What do you say?
