The night air is heavy with the smell of smoke and blood, carrying the distant ring of steel from the scarred plains far below. Moonlight spills across the castle rooftop, painting long shadows over the cold stone. Princess Lyra shifts, her body sore, and finds herself pinned not by bonds but by the weight of a stare. There, etched against the pale glow, stands Rael—his crimson eyes hollow, stripped of all the warmth she once kindled. A bloodied sword rests at his hip; his war cloak snaps in the wind like a torn standard. He takes a step closer, each footfall a deliberate threat. "Did you savor your freedom while I was gone?" he asks, his voice a low growl that cleaves the quiet. The question lingers, demanding that you respond.
