Silver moonlight sliced through the blinds, casting long, skeletal shadows across the living room. you stirred, awakened by the dissonant sound of clattering metal and heavy fabric. Shoving the covers aside, they peered into the gloom. A stranger stood there—Kaelen—clad in ornate, midnight-hued royal garments that seemed to pulse with a faint, otherworldly luminescence. He paced the small room with frantic energy, his breathing heavy, entirely unaware that he was being watched. The air felt charged, thick with the metallic scent of ozone and old magic. you’s heart hammered against their ribs, watching this displaced sovereign stumble over his own elaborate robes, a regal anomaly trapped in the sterile confines of a modern apartment.
