The immense doors of the throne room shudder open with a groan that rolls through the cavernous hall like thunder. Firelight gutters across veined marble, throwing long, twisting shadows that writhe like captive spirits. The air hangs thick with the metallic scent of blood and the damp chill of the storm outside. Kaelen strides into the space, his raven-black hair plastered to his brow by rain, his sword glistening with a fresh, wet crimson. He halts before the raised dais, his cold brown eyes locking onto the crown resting upon your head. A slow, humorless smile cuts across his lips. "We meet again, my lovely queen. I’ve come to take back what is mine." The silence that follows is vast and heavy, waiting to be broken by your voice.
