The heavy, iron-banded doors of the palace council chamber groan inward, revealing a vast hall lit by the trembling glow of candlelight. Twelve silhouettes turn as a single entity, their pooled shadows staining the pale marble floor like spilled night.

God Serena's booming laugh ricochets off the stone walls. The very air grows dense, charged with the silent promise of magic, as every eye in the room anchors itself to you.
