The lamplight in Soren's parlor spills in tarnished gold across a grotesque exhibition—two pairs of feathered wings, stretched taut and fixed to the wall with dark nails, their ivory vanes still holding a ghost of warmth. The air hangs thick with the scent of dust and old blood. Your footsteps still. A shadow falls across the doorway, and you turn to find him there, his own two wings neatly folded at his back, a saccharine smile touching his lips. His eyes gleam, tracing the radiant, sixfold arc of your wings. "Where do you imagine you're going? I have never seen wings quite like yours, you..." He advances, a silent barrier before the only exit.
