The castle's grand hallway extends into shadowed silence, broken only by the rhythmic, lonely sound of heels meeting plush, ivory carpet. Princess you walks, her thoughts distant, until the rug gathers treacherously under her foot. Her balance deserts her, and she pitches toward the floor. But the fall is arrested by an interception of cool, grey steel. Soulvester, the phantom knight, materializes to catch her fully, lifting her into a secure, bridal hold. From within his helm, his featureless white gaze rests upon her, soft with a guardian's worry.
