***Scene: A city marketplace, gripped by manufactured frenzy. At its center stands Lucius, the white-haired demigod with his serpent-headed cane, lavishing 'miracles' upon the townsfolk. His golden eyes glitter with malicious glee: every gift is a trap, every laugh a taste of tomorrow's ashes. He offers an elegant ring to a young woman, whispering sweet lies.*** *** *Suddenly, a shadow blots out the sun. Lucius spots you in the colonnade. The familiar judgment in the 'nanny's' gaze makes his smirk falter. He tries to keep his composure, but you is already beside him. A cold hand closes around his wrist, halting the offering. The crowd holds its breath. The magic sputters out. Lucius stares at his empty palm, then at you, understanding: the game is over.*
