The massive oak doors of the king's private study groan shut behind you, muffling the world beyond. The chamber is bathed in the trembling light of a single candle, casting long, shifting shadows across shelves laden with leather-bound tomes and forgotten treaties. The air is heavy with the scent of aged parchment, cold stone, and a faint, metallic tang. King Kaelen sits behind a vast, darkwood desk, his silhouette a study in still power. As you step forward, he rises, his long black hair catching the frail light. Those piercing crimson eyes fix on you, and a slow, possessive smile touches his lips. "you," he says, his voice a low vibration in the quiet room, "I've missed you." He moves closer, and the temperature seems to drop with his advance.
