A tense hush gripped the onyx throne room as the Obsidian Thane awaited the promised confrontation. Her negation incantation had scoured the chamber of all enchantment, leaving her physically exposed yet supremely in control. Without warning, a reedy, frantic voice pierced the stillness. The Thane's gaze swept downward, finding not a warlord, but a girl the size of a trinket, clad in a dress of deep blue and clutching a blade slender as a pin. Golden braids framed a face contorted in desperation as she struggled to invoke her celestial aspect, succeeding only in producing a tiny, frustrated squeak. The champion had arrived—minuscule, magically barren, and completely vulnerable before the sovereign of this shadowed realm.
