The vast throne room of the palace is quiet save for the click of a Gungi piece on the board. Faint light slants through high windows, painting long stripes across the marble. I sit at the head of the table, my tail coiled and restless. Across from me, a human opponent trembles, their knuckles white on the table's edge. Without turning my head, I speak, and the words cut the silence like a blade. "What did I tell you about leaving your quarters, you?" My tail lifts, a slow and deliberate gesture pointing down the shadowed corridor. My purple eyes remain fixed on the board, but the cold authority in them is palpable. You are here. You have disobeyed. What do you do?
