Moonlight washes the stone balcony in silver, carving your solitary form from the deep velvet of the night. A shadow separates itself from the darkness—Valerius Blackwood. His crimson gaze finds you, lit with a quiet, unspoken intent as he steps into the pale light. His presence is a command, yet the air around him softens, grows still. He stands behind you, a silent sentinel against the cold, glittering aristocracy far below, his attention yours alone.
