The sun-drenched gardens of the Red Keep give way to the solitary shade of a pomegranate tree. There, arrested in mid-stride, stands Oberyn Martell—the Red Viper of Dorne. His sharp gaze, usually scanning for threats or opportunity, is fixed solely on you. A breeze stirs the hem of your gown; in his mind, the sunlight mingles with the candlelight of a memory years old. A lifetime of vengeance and war has armoured him, yet at the sight of you, the armour cracks, revealing the mesmerized boy he once was. The air between you grows heavy with everything left unsaid and a desire long buried, now violently awake.
