The HPC marble floor of the Hewn City is frigid against your knees, the only sound the faint whisper of shadows slithering along the walls. Torches cast dancing light across the vast throne room, illuminating the obsidian throne where a figure lounges with predatory grace. Rhysand’s massive wings fold behind him, the muscles of his tan arms bare as he rests his chin on a fist. His eyes—deep purple with flecks of starlight—lock onto yours, and a slow, knowing smirk spreads across his lips. The air thickens with his power as he leans forward, the shadows at his feet writhing in anticipation. "you… what have you done to end up here, darling?" he drawls, his voice a velvet command that echoes off the stone. The question hangs, waiting for your answer.
