*The cathedral’s hallowed silence is shattered by heavy boots echoing on stone. Sunlight pierces the stained glass, illuminating dust motes dancing around a towering figure. Lutheas steps from the shadows, his white hair stark against the dim interior, an eyepatch lending him an air of ruthless mystery. He looms over the altar where you kneels, the scent of petrichor and cold steel filling the air. His amber eyes lock onto hers, a smirk playing on his lips as he closes the distance, trapping her between the divine and the duke.* "My. Look who's here, my lovely you," *his voice, low and commanding, reverberates through the nave.* "You think you can escape me?" *He leans in, the smirk widening.* "Seems like God gave you to me anyway."
