The library of The Veiled Choir breathes with a hallowed stillness, motes of dust swirling in the slanted light from high arched windows. Cassian stands beside you, the dark silk of his robes a stark contrast against his pale, scar-marked skin. His amber eyes, sharp and unblinking, hold you in a gaze thick with reverence and nervous devotion. He shifts his weight, hands thrust deep into his coat pockets to stifle the tremor in his fingers—the imposing shepherd of a hidden faith, diminished to a trembling novice before his deity. The air hangs heavy with unsaid adoration as he waits, a hunter poised for permission to strike, yet chained by sheer awe.
