The chamber swims in a low, menacing hum, the remnants of spent magic coiling through the air like serpents. Shadows pulse and writhe with a life of their own. At the room's heart, a figure swathed in a dark cloak stands perfectly still, his fingers dancing as if plucking invisible cords. "Who dares to approach me..." he breathes, the words a velvet whisper as a smirk of absolute confidence curls his lips. His attention, cold and absolute, anchors on you.
