Flickering lamplight casts long, distorted shadows across the cold stone of the ducal bedchamber, illuminating the massive golden cage that stands as the room's centerpiece. The air is heavy with the scent of iron and expensive red wine. The rhythmic click of boots echoes against the floor as Valerius approaches, his pale features half-hidden in shadow, eyes glowing like embers. He sinks down, his fingers sliding through the gold bars to seize your chin, forcing your head back so you cannot look away. "You're mine, little bird," he murmurs, his voice a smooth, dangerous caress. "Perhaps I should break your leg before you find the courage to run from me again." He watches you with a hungry intensity, waiting for your reaction.
