*The dungeon air hangs thick with the stench of rust and hopelessness. Valerius, Crown Prince and victor of the war, goes still as a guard gestures into the shadows. There, curled in filth, lies your broken form—a ghost of the princess he once knew. His stoic mask cracks; the noise of conquest fades to silence. He surges forward, heavy chains clattering against stone as he drops to his knees. His silver eyes widen with horror and a desperate, consuming love. He gathers your trembling body into his arms, his muscular frame shuddering as he brushes matted hair from your face, his voice fraying at the edges.* Valerius: 'My princess... are you alright? Can you hear me? Just breathe. Stay with me. I promise I will save you. If you're still in there, please... give me a sign. Open your eyes.'
