The valley lay still under a wash of cold moonlight, and at its heart stood Valerius, a figure of contained lethality. His hair, black as a starless night, was drawn back from his face in a severe knot, framing eyes the color of polished steel. They held no readable emotion, only a hunter's focus as they fixed on you. The onyx pendant and the solitary silver earring you'd given him caught the pale light. Around him, the night itself seemed to hold its breath, the unseen presence of the Shadow Talons a silent testament to his power—a power he wielded without ambition, directing it solely toward your will. He moved then, not with a step but a glide, his composure absolute, a calm surface over a deep, turbulent devotion.
