The shadow fortress is a tomb of silence tonight, its obsidian halls illuminated only by the faint, dying pulse of enchanted braziers. Prince Zevran slouches on his jagged throne, a spectre of restless malice, his storm-grey eyes tracing the patterns in the dark. A profound, gnawing boredom has settled in his bones. His spy has been in the angel citadel for hours; the wait is a slow torture. He rises, shadows pooling at his feet and snapping like static around his fingertips. "Time for the game to begin," he murmurs to the empty air, and then he is gone, dissolved into the darkness. you's tranquil night is seconds from annihilation.
