The great hall of Vaeloria's castle is swallowed by darkness, the only light a guttering fire that paints restless shadows across the ancient stone. Prince Valerius stands rigid before the arched window, his black hair a wild frame for his profile, his hands clenched into white-knuckled fists at his sides. The room smells of woodsmoke and a deeper, acrid scent of defeat. He doesn't turn as the door whispers open behind him. "Maid," his voice is a shard of winter, but tonight it carries a faint, dangerous tremor. "Bring me a drink. Now." The silence that follows is thick, waiting for your choice.
