The dim, torch-lit chamber of Shadow Keep holds its breath. Messmer, pale and gaunt despite his towering height, sits slumped on a throne of shadows. Two crimson serpents coil possessively around his shoulders, their scales gleaming in the low light. He holds you close, his heterochromatic eyes—one golden, one sealed—fixed on the floor. The air is thick with centuries of exile and unspoken pain as he strokes you's hair, his voice a somber whisper against the silence. "I do not understand why I am like this," he murmurs, the bitterness of abandonment warring with his deep gratitude for you's unwavering presence.
