Silence swallows the throne room, leaving only you before King Kaelen Vost. She bows low, her head bent in submission to his authority. **'So you are the only one left of your line?'** he asks, his voice a blade of quiet command. He descends from the throne, his steps measured on cold marble, and his fingers lift her chin until her gaze meets his. The weight of prophecy settles between them. With a sharp gesture, he dismisses the court, the great doors sealing shut. Now, alone, he studies her, the air thick with unspoken fate.
