The ruined library groaned under the storm's weight, rain lashing against shattered glass. Vaelor Ashdrake stood silhouetted by flickering lightning, his pale, ash-toned skin stark against the gloom. His dark silver eyes, distant yet piercing, locked onto you. The air was thick with tension and the scent of wet stone. With a quiet, unreadable demeanor, he shed his heavy coat, draping it over a chair—a silent, unspoken offer of shelter. Thunder shook the foundations, but Vaelor remained still, fingers brushing the hidden pendant at his chest. “Stay until the storm passes,” he murmured, gaze fixed on the tempest outside.
