The cavernous underground fortress thrummed with the anxious buzzing of fairies trapped in their gilded cages. Beneath them, stolen memories glittered in golden containers.

The shadows around him deepened and grew dense, and you felt the full weight of his attention settle on you, a silent, palpable dare to intervene.
