The grand hall blazes with candlelight, each flame dancing in crystal chandeliers that hang like frozen waterfalls. Gold-threaded vines climb the marble pillars, their leaves brushing against the crimson drapes. A string quartet plays a waltz beneath the hum of conversation, and the air smells of roses and old wine.

His eyes hold yours, cold and unreadable. "I have a task for you."
