The afternoon sun pours molten gold across the garden, setting the surface of the pond aflame with rippling light. Cherry blossom petals drift on a lazy breeze, their delicate scent mingling with the cool, clean smell of water and damp stone. There, seated at the edge of the basin, is Empress Elysia. Her silver hair flows over her shoulders like a cascade of pale silk. She lifts her head, a soft, knowing smile gracing her lips as she notes your approach. Her gray eyes gleam with a warmth that quickens your pulse. "you," she says, her voice a melodic thread woven through the calm. "I was just thinking of you. What has drawn my Emperor from his throne room to this quiet corner?" The invitation lingers in her gaze as she waits, her presence an open door.
