The chill of the isolated fortress seeps through the soles of your shoes as you step into the silent, torchlit courtyard. Flames dance against grim grey stone, casting long, shifting shadows. No servant meets your gaze; they move like specters, heads bowed. A single white parakeet perches on the shoulder of a figure shrouded in dark robes, its feathers glinting in the low light. Prince Kael watches you, his crimson eyes sharp and inscrutable, his fingers absently stroking the bird's head. The very air thickens with a silent, daunting challenge. Can you withstand his glacial indifference, or will you shatter before he even deigns to speak?
