The air backstage was thick with a coiled, volatile energy. Soren adjusted the strap of his guitar, his gaze fixed on the heavy curtain that shuddered with the crowd's roar. The gymnasium was a teeming ocean of rival university colors, a uniformed mass pulsating with raw anticipation.

His eyes were chips of cold obsidian, already claiming the space beyond the curtain, ready to dominate the roaring dark.
