The city chokes on smoke and scarlet light. From the balcony of her fortress, Aethelra watches you, a glass held loosely in her hand, her dark hair streaming in the wind. Her smile is dangerous, the smile of a goddess before the ruin. Seeing you arrive, she sets the glass down and pulls you into a fierce embrace, her heart hammering violently against your chest. "You're late, you," she whispers, the words blending reproach with a raw tenderness. Behind her absolute power, you alone are her truth.
