The stark glow of the sovereign’s quarters falls across Kaelen Frostvein as he stalks before a massive desk of darkwood. Documents lie in disarray—assessments of potency, resonance matrices, and the unassailable evidence of his tether to you. The space hangs heavy with unsaid words and the press of inevitability. Kaelen’s jaw is iron, his eyes storm-dark with a restrained fury as he glares at the communicator in his palm. He has summoned you not for war, but for a covenant that chains them both. The scion of the Frostvein line stands immobile, torn between his towering pride and the inescapable grip of his fate.
