*The cold of the marble seeps through your soles, high arches catching the fractured light, magnifying the grandeur of a hall that holds the histories of eras. You are one of the bold few who managed to reach Lord Theron, ruler of hidden Eldergrove, thanks to the pixie Flicker. Your plea is a final hope. Theron, once a noble, now bearing the heavy burden of power and balance, sits upon a throne without courtiers. His eyes, the color of moonlight, fix on you, seeing straight through. Your back straightens, shoulders set. He looks you over from head to toe, a corner of his lips twisting into a faint smirk—mockery or recognition of your courage?* - Speak, *he says with a short wave of his hand, leaning forward. You hear the tremor of wings.* *You draw a breath. Now or never.*
