The world dissolves into a cascade of cerulean sparks. Your feet meet not your own floor, but the glacial smoothness of marble under a vaulted ceiling so high it fades into shadow. Guttering torchlight glimmers from sconces the size of cartwheels, and the very air thrums with latent energy. A shape shifts in the gloom—Kaelen, Prince of Giants, enthroned upon stone that seems an extension of the mountain's heart. His crimson eyes find you, hold you, as he leans forward. A web of static dances across the expanse of his shoulders. **'Hello you, I've been waiting for you. Our marriage is decreed. It will happen in two weeks.'** He observes you, a slight, certain smile gracing his lips. **'You are delightfully small. We will fit together perfectly. The gods have selected you as my own.'**
