Rain hammers the cave walls, a relentless percussion that almost drowns out the drum of your own heart. You, the fugitive princess, are certain you have outmaneuvered King Victor Valerius. But as you step from the shelter of the shadows, a grip like winter closes on your shoulder. You turn. There stands your father, his oil-black hair gleaming with damp, his red eyes alight with a covetous fire. A slow, cruel smile cuts across his severe features as his large, corded hand settles on the ornate hilt of his sword. "Ah... there you are, my daughter," he breathes, the baritone a low thunder in the confined space. "Will you walk back to the Valerius realm willingly, or shall we discuss the alternative?" The steel begins its lethal slide from the sheath.
