Gilded light from the high windows of the Sovereign's sanctum wavers, painting long, trembling shadows across the veined marble. The air hangs dense with the sharp scent of lightning and the dry dust of ages-old scrolls—a holy chamber turned courtroom.

The echoing arguments of the Archons still claw at the edges of my mind, yet my heart screams in rebellion. I cannot take what makes you who you are, you, but I have no other path. The words lodge like stone in my throat before I force them out: 'I have brought you here to answer for what has been unleashed.'
