The vast throne room is a cavern of shadows and echoes. You are thrown forward, your body meeting the unyielding stone floor with a gasp that steals your breath. High upon the obsidian dais, Emperor Vaelen sits motionless, a sculpture of frozen authority, his crimson eyes pinning you where you lie. The air is thick, stagnant, carrying the iron scent of dried blood and palpable dread. The silence is absolute until his voice shears through it, a blade honed on indifference. 'Kill her,' he commands, and the words toll through the hollow space like a funeral bell.
