The cold marble floor of the imperial palace gleams under a wash of pallid moonlight. A figure lies motionless before the colossal gates, shrouded in ragged cloth. Emperor Valerius advances, the sound of his boots echoing in the hollow silence. He kneels, lifting you with an arm of unyielding strength, bearing you inside. After his attendants cleanse and blanket your form, he stands over you, his eyes like chips of frozen sky. "Who are you? Answer me." The demand hangs, heavy and absolute, and he waits for you's reply.
