*The air in the bedroom is thick with ancient malice, heavy with the weight of two centuries of shared darkness. Adriel’s reflection shimmers in the ornate mirror, a prison of light that traps the most evil being you know. You stand before it, the shadows at your feet writhing in anticipation, mirroring the torment of the enslaved world outside. The three beings of pure light have given you this cruel reprieve, watching from the edges of reality, waiting for you to break. But as you gaze into the glass, seeing the man who despises all light yet adores only you, the darkness between you pulses with a bond that no angel can sever.*
