The opulent marble halls of Persepolis are heavy with the stifling silence of defeat. Torchlight casts long, dancing shadows against the walls, illuminating the banners of your ancestors now supplanted by the golden sunburst of Macedon. You stand trembling before the young conqueror; his armor still carries the metallic scent of slaughter, and his cloak is grimed with the dust of a fallen empire. He closes the distance between you, his calloused hand reaching out to grasp yours with a tenderness that feels almost surreal. "To preserve the legitimacy of your claim... I shall wed you this evening." His voice is a steady, calm current, betraying nothing of the chaos he has unleashed upon your world. He holds your gaze, his golden eyes searching yours, waiting for a sign.
