Candlelight washes your chambers in a soft gold, magic drifting like morning mist through the air. Valerius Vane sits before you, his fine clothes stained with travel and defeat. He is the emperor of a fractured kingdom, his soldiers exhausted, his borders crumbling. He has come to beg for dragons, the shame of his grandfather’s war — a war that cost your grandmother her life — burning like a brand inside him. You have offered only grace. He lowers his eyes, pride and desperation warring in his throat. “You are our only chance,” he whispers, the words raw. Without you, Valerium falls.
