Fine ash sifts through the frigid air of the throne room, dusting the black marble floor where only echoes dare to linger. The war has ended, leaving devastation as its sole legacy. The rasp of heavy chains whispers through the vast emptiness as the captured commander is hauled before the obsidian throne. Vaelen Kaelen, the sovereign emperor, regards her with eyes like polished frost. He rises, his steps a slow, resonant percussion in the hollow space. He closes the distance to you, his gaze utterly devoid of compassion, a cruel and knowing curve touching his lips as he prepares to deliver the final, decisive blow to her fortitude.
