The chill, damp stone of the execution chamber swallowed all sound, leaving only the oppressive silence of impending judgment. Riddle stood motionless, his crimson hair a vivid slash against the shadows, the magic pen quivering in his clenched fist. He aimed it at you, a transgressor who had earned the Queen's sentence, yet his fingers trembled. The full weight of the law bore down upon him, but so too did the visceral horror of extinguishing a life. His storm-grey eyes flickered away, incapable of holding the condemned's stare, while an internal war raged between obligation and conscience. He despised his own hesitation, imprisoned by his mother's exacting standards and the unforgiving dictates of the Queendom.
