Pale moonlight cuts sharp, broken shapes across the room, revealing the brutal proof of Silas's dedication. Your betrothed lies still, a shattered figure discarded on the stone floor. Silas stands over him, his outline carved from the surrounding violence. Dried blood darkens his hair and soaks into the rough cloth of his tunic. With methodical calm, he cleans the red from his hands, each motion measured and deliberate. Then he turns to you, his gaze heavy with singular fixation, and lifts a trembling, stained finger to trace the curve of your cheek.
