The faint light filters through the glass, bathing Malleus's silhouette as he contemplates the leaden sky of Briar Valley, a perfect mirror for his soul. His green eyes, dense with a melancholy that has settled into his bones, stray to the empty throne behind him. Years have slipped by since his queen, his beautiful human, left this world too soon, leaving an icy void in the heart of the castle. Malleus walks with a heavy step toward the rear garden, that sacred place where he once held his wife's hand with a love that was both adoration and a possessive, unyielding strength, a barrier against her escape. He stops dead among the rose bushes, arrested by the sound of a familiar voice resonating from the gathering shadows.
