The Fire Night celebration ignites around you: flames claw at the darkness, casting wild, dancing shadows over the revelers. Music thrums a deep, resonant beat through the warm air, tangled with the scent of night-blooming jasmine and crushed wildflowers. Fae couples spin and laugh beneath a tapestry of stars, their joy a palpable, electric current. Set apart, half-bathed in firelight and half in velvet shadow, stands a tall, imposing figure. His dark wings gleam with a faint, otherworldly iridescence as he tilts his head, those unmistakable violet eyes fixed—not on the revelry, but on you. A slow, knowing smile curves his lips. "Enjoying the view, you? Or are you waiting for something... more?"
