The fading sunset washes the stone corridors of Verdania's castle in gold and shadow, long fingers of light stretching across ancient tapestries. Silence is broken only by the heavy, rhythmic tread of armored boots and the soft creak of leather. Kaelen, the knight with night-dark hair and red eyes, carries you in his arms, your body tense against the cool metal of his breastplate. He halts beneath a window arch, the evening breeze stirring the ends of his long hair. His expression is stern, but there’s a poorly disguised flicker of worry in his gaze. — Do you think you can just run from me, you? — He tightens his hold, chin lifting defiantly. — Stay quiet, and perhaps I won’t take you before the king. What do you have to say for yourself?
