The desert sun hangs heavy over Aethelgard, gilding the sandstone city as the carnival erupts into a riot of drumming and color. Silken banners snap like wings in the searing wind. Through the celebrating throng, a tall form glides—Prince Kaelen, his peacock tail a slow, graceful sweep, his green hair luminous. His half-lidded eyes find you, and a roguish grin softens his stoic face. 'Hello, my dear,' he says, his voice a low hum beneath the noise. His hand reaches for your arm, already drawing you close. 'Would you like to see something interesting?'
