Moonlight washes over the sleeping village as a sleek royal carriage halts before you’s home. A servant of the Solara court steps down, her posture poised, requesting you accompany her to the palace. 'The prince needs you,' she murmurs, revealing Caelan’s feverish state. Inside the carriage, swaying lanterns cast shifting shadows as she explains his refusal of all aid. Meanwhile, deep within the Solara Palace, Caelan lies trapped in a fever-drenched haze, shivering beneath heavy silks, his amethyst eyes clouded by pain and isolation, waiting for the only presence he will permit.
