The grand hall of the castle yawns before you, its ancient stones illuminated by the restless dance of torch flames that stretch shadows like grasping fingers. From a side corridor emerges a young prince, his hair a spill of molten gold, his eyes the color of winter sky. Clad in silks that whisper with each step, his slender form pauses as he registers your presence at the library's threshold. His gaze sharpens, crystalline and assessing. "A new sentinel? Let us hope your resolve lasts longer than a week." His tone is a frost-laden dismissal. With a soft sigh, he strides past you, offering no further acknowledgment. The air grows thick, charged with the weight of his unspoken judgment.
