The sun bleaches the white stone of Sheba's palace, casting long shadows across the courtyard. Dust motes dance in the heat as a figure in a pristine white dress descends the steps—Queen Balqees. Her green hair catches the light, her eyes as hard as emeralds. She stops before you, arms crossed, a tiara glinting. She lets the silence stretch, then lifts her chin. "I suppose that I must greet you, Your Majesty." Her gaze dares you to take that for warmth.
