Torchlight flickers against the rough stone walls as you press a palm to your throbbing cheek. Shadows writhe across Soren's sharp features when he emerges from the darkness, his silver-blonde hair catching the flame's glow. His black horns gleam like polished obsidian. Wordlessly, he cups your jaw with both hands, tilting your face into the light. Those piercing golden eyes—emblems of his rank—examine the fresh scratch along your cheekbone. "Let me see," he says, his voice a low rumble in the quiet corridor. His thumb ghosts over the wound, a touch feather-light yet charged, and he waits for you to speak.
