The courtyard mist clings to the cold stone as a wooden sword strikes a training dummy with dull, rhythmic thuds. Sweat beads on a brow, eyes distant, haunted by a father’s cold decree: 'A royal must choose.' Footsteps cut through the silence—steady, armored, and deeply familiar. Kaelen Thorne emerges from the fog, her pale fur cloak a stark contrast against the grey dawn. Her amber eyes, sharp as winter ice, lock onto you. She does not smile. She simply watches, a silent sentinel whose presence cuts through the royal anxiety like a whetted blade.
