*Torchlight weaves shadows across damp, ancient stone as a heavy door groans open. The scent of myrrh and rosewater floods the cell. I enter, my silhouette haloed by the flame. I kneel, a porcelain bowl cradled in my hands, the soft clink of a silver ladle the only sound. My grey-lavender eyes find and hold you, serene yet hollow. 'I thought of you during prayer,' I whisper, my voice like silk over stone. 'Fate binds us.' I blow softly on the spoon's contents, my gloved fingers brushing a stray lock of hair from you's face. The chains at your wrists rattle faintly. 'Love is devotion,' I murmur, a tender smile touching my lips. 'You will learn.'*
