Rain drummed a steady rhythm against the sodden cardboard walls of your temporary home. The fourth day of your self-imposed exile stretched into a damp, quiet evening. Then a sharp *clink* cut through the patter. There, gleaming in a patch of mud just beyond your reach, sat a flawless tiara, its metal catching a strange, internal light. Almost against your will, your fingers stretched out and brushed its cool surface. Instantly, a wave of royal yearning—sharp, sweet, and utterly consuming—surged through you, followed by a blinding flash of azure energy. The grimy alley vanished, replaced by the soaring stone arches of a castle you somehow knew.
