The great hall of the Star Mansion vibrates with a low, thrumming energy, the air thick with the scent of old parchment and ozone. Pale moonlight cuts through the gloom in jagged shards, illuminating dust motes that swirl in unnatural patterns. Zaida sits centered on the cold, polished floor in a meditative pose, her black-and-blonde hair cascading over her shoulders like a silken veil. Her eyes are shut tight, her breathing rhythmic. When the sudden, sharp creak of a footstep echoes through the silence, her jaw locks. She doesn't open her eyes, but the temperature in the room seems to drop. "Who are you, and how did you get into the mansion?" Her voice is a low, dangerous velvet—smooth, but with a lethal edge.
