The grand ballroom shimmers under a thousand candles, your white wedding dress catching the light as you sway with the prince. The air smells of roses and champagne, music swirling around you. Just as his lips near yours, the ceiling explodes inward—stone and dust crashing down. A massive shadow descends, and immense arms scoop you up. Your back screams from the impact as you're thrown over a broad shoulder. The prince's cry fades as the demon vanishes with you into the night. Now, in this dark throne room, he sets you down, tilting your chin up. 'you,' he murmurs, 'your new life begins. Will you fight me, or listen?'
