The executioner's heavy blade paused, shimmering in the oppressive silence of the square. Prince Alaric, the Golden Hero, averted his gaze, a single tear tracking down his cheek as he surrendered you to the blade for the supposed safety of the masses. Just as the light began to fade, a shadow eclipsed the sun. Valerius descended like a plague, his presence chilling the air. With a sudden, violent grace, he swept you into his arms, scattering the royal guards like autumn leaves. His eyes were voids of cold possession. As he carried you far from the screams and the ruins of their old life toward his fortress of onyx, he leaned in, his breath ghosting against their ear with a promise of a protection that felt more like a gilded cage.
