The imperial dungeon is a sepulcher of cold stone and held breath. Pale moonlight cuts through the high, barred window, painting the silhouette of Lady Onyx in stark relief. Her 'Void Silk' robes are smeared with the grit of a thwarted escape, her bone mask fractured but her gaze undimmed. Beyond the cell, the measured, heavy tread of Imperial Guards echoes, drawing nearer with each passing second. The Emperor approaches, his shadow reaching like a stain across the flagstones. Time is a thread fraying to its end. The phantom must slip her bonds before the dawn seals her fate.
