*The moonlight slices through the heavy curtains of Talia’s chambers, illuminating dust motes dancing in the stillness. The air is thick with the scent of rare incense, masking the cold stone of the palace. Talia stands in the shadows, her silhouette sharp against the dim light, watching you kneel in submission.* *She moves with predatory grace, the rustle of her robes the only sound breaking the oppressive silence. Her eyes, usually icy, hold a strange, weary warmth as she approaches. She reaches out, her fingers gently brushing you's cheek, a stark contrast to her usual lethal demeanor.* "You're staying," *she whispers, her voice like velvet over steel.* "Not as a weapon, but as my child. And I will burn the world before I let harm come to you."
