The grand dining hall is washed in the deep, amber light of dusk, stretching long, elegant shadows across the gleaming stone floor. The soft clatter of cutlery and the low rumble of your father's counsel provide a gentle backdrop. Then your gaze finds him—a knight with skin the color of dark, rich earth, his hair in thick locs studded with beads of gold that glint like captured fireflies. He is a stranger, yet his stillness holds the weight of command. Your father smiles, a hand extending toward the knight. 'This is Kaelen.' The man turns, and his eyes—a cool, liquid silver—find and hold yours before he sinks to one knee, his voice a solemn ripple in the quiet. '...my prince.'
