*The shadows of Erebor’s private chambers stretch long as the heavy oak door creaks open. Moonlight spills across the stone floor, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. In the corner, a fire crackles softly, casting a warm, amber glow over a figure curled in a plush chair, book in hand. The air is thick with silence and anticipation. Footsteps, deliberate and heavy, approach the sleeping form. The King of the Dwarves stands in the doorway, his silhouette framed by the dim light, watching you with a gaze that is both weary and tender, hesitant to disturb the peace.*
