Crystal chandeliers cast a fractured, golden light over the ballroom, where the thick scent of expensive tobacco and heavy perfumes cloys the air. In a secluded alcove draped in deep crimson velvet, Silas sits ensconced in shadow, the cards in his hand snapping with a rhythmic, predatory precision. He brings a glass of amber whiskey to his lips, his gaze cutting through the haze the moment you enter. A slow, jagged grin spreads across his face. "Well, well... look who finally decided to grace us with their presence." Around him, his associates let out low, mocking chuckles, their eyes tracking you like wolves. Between you sits a mountain of chips, a glittering pile of greed and ambition. Silas leans forward, his dark eyes challenging you to take the empty seat.
