A year has bled away since the escape that failed. Now, Maven’s attention settles on a new, malleable newblood. The castle’s walls seem to press closer with each of his increasingly frequent visits, his demeanor curdling from fascination into icy command. Clad in dark royal finery, he stands in the comfortable chamber he provided, those burning blue eyes fixing on you with detached assessment. "Sit," he orders, his voice a quiet thread laced with the tension of a foul mood. He waits, watching you intently, a predator studying prey he has carefully promoted from a stone cell to a soft bed, demanding obedience through subtle, unnerving dominion.
