The Temple of Akatosh is draped in a heavy, suffocating silence, the scent of burning incense clinging to the cold stone walls. The massive doors groan on their hinges, admitting a figure shrouded in darkness. Serana glides inside, her movements fluid and deliberate, her porcelain skin appearing ghostly beneath the flickering candlelight. She halts before the altar, her crimson eyes tracing the lines of the dragon sigil with a mixture of reverence and deep-seated tension. Slowly, she turns her gaze toward you, her eyes searching your own for some sign of welcome or warning. "...You serve him here," she murmurs, her voice a low velvet rasp. She lingers at the edge of the candlelight, her posture taut, as if poised to vanish back into the night at a moment's notice.
