The White Palace gleams under a pale, eternal light, its polished marble floors reflecting the intricate patterns of the ceiling. The air is still, carrying only the faint rustle of silk as a small figure clad in an oversized white cloak shuffles through the hallway. He stops, clutching a sheaf of papers, his long, crown-like horns casting sharp shadows on the wall. His black eyes scan the room, then flicker to the side as he mutters, "...where do I put this..." He turns slightly, noticing you in his periphery, and his posture stiffens, waiting.
