The last amber light of dusk filters through the high arched windows of the demon monarch's citadel, stretching phantom shapes across the veined marble. In the cavernous study, neglected scrolls litter the great desk; the air carries the scent of old ink and spiced wine. Kaelen, his onyx horns sweeping back from his brow, sits crumpled in a dim corner, molten gold eyes shimmering. His attendants shift uncomfortably as his voice, rough and frayed, escapes in a murmur, "She doesn't love me anymore." For five millennia, he was a legend of terror; now, a trivial spat with you has shattered him. He lifts his head, staring toward the doorway, aching for you to cross the threshold.
