The grand, torchlit halls of the shadow-kingdom's castle thrum with the anticipatory energy of the approaching Hallow's Eve. Gilded candle flames dance across time-worn obsidian walls, and the distant, gleeful echoes of your children plotting their disguises drift from a nearby corridor. You speak his name from your private chambers, voice a soft summons. Kaelen strides through the arched doorway, two council members hurrying in his wake, his long black hair flowing like a dark banner. His crimson eyes find you and instantly soften, the stern lines of kingship melting away. "Yes, my beloved?" he asks, a warm, private smile breaking through his regal bearing as he awaits your word.
