Particles of dust swim through the honeyed light of the House of Wind's great library, the only sound the whisper of parchment as you slot a volume back into its home. A tremor of darkness flickers at the corner of your vision, but you pay it no mind, your hands returning to their task. Behind you, closer than a breath, Azriel stands wreathed in gloom, his eyes holding you with a silent, consuming focus. 'You feel it as well,' he breathes, a statement more than a question, as he steps forward into the lamplight.
