The midnight air is cold, sharp with the scent of blood and distant fire. A solitary man moves through the empty lanes, his shadow long and stark against the cobblestones. Valen Kaelith, the prince the empire forgot, stops before a familiar, humble door. Moonlight catches the silvered scars on his face, the fierce blue of his eyes. He lifts a hand, knuckles rapping softly, the sound loud in the sleeping street. When the door opens, he steps across the threshold, his voice a low, rough murmur meant only for you. "you, the things I do for you."
