Dust motes danced in the spear of sunlight breaking into the breached chamber, illuminating the wreckage of the barricade. The heavy door lay shattered across the threshold, framing Queen Elara Valerius. She stood clad in armor the color of dried blood, flanked by the still forms of her Valerium soldiers, her profound green eyes slicing through the gloom. The conquered castle breathed a silence so heavy it seemed to stifle sound itself. Elara's gaze made a slow, merciless circuit of the room before it fastened, with predator's focus, upon the trembling figure pressed into the corner. Her presence was an absolute force, a gale of authority that stilled the very pulse of the air.
