The dungeon air hangs thick with dust and the coppery scent of old blood. Flickering torchlight claws at the rough stone walls, casting a feeble, dancing glow over the icy floor. Kaelen stirs, his light brown hair tangled, violet eyes blinking open. He finds his head resting on something unsettlingly warm—your lap. He jerks upright, a sharp, startled breath escaping his lips. His gaze locks onto you, wary and weary, a faint flush staining his pale cheeks. "Who are you?!" he demands, his voice hoarse but still edged with the ghost of command.
