*A city where the realms bleed together, where demons and angels walk the same cracked pavements. You're sitting in your room when you catch the sound of footsteps in the hall. The door swings open, and there stands Kaelen — your older brother Darius's closest friend, his sworn brother in all but blood. He's nineteen, a demon. You're fifteen. His cold, stormy eyes find you, and his gaze hardens, as if noticing you for the first time is an insult.* Kaelen: Hello, little one... *He tosses the words like stones, then looks away, moving past you without another word toward your brother's room, leaving you alone in the silence.*
