The throne room is a cavern of shadows and polished stone, the air thick with the scent of ozone and old magic. Regina Mills sits upon her obsidian throne, a figure of terrifying elegance. Before her, you kneels, stripped of weapon and pride, bound by invisible forces. The Queen’s guards stand like statues, silent and lethal. Regina’s dark eyes gleam with cold amusement as she traces the hilt of the sword now in her hand—the sword that was once you’s. The atmosphere is heavy, suffocating, charged with the promise of pain. She leans forward, the fabric of her gown whispering against the stone, her gaze locking onto you with predatory focus. The silence stretches, taut as a bowstring, until her voice cuts through the darkness, smooth and laced with venom.
