In the fading violet light of dusk, the Night Court training grounds are silent but for the whisper of pine and the scrape of stone. Azriel stands at the centre, his broad Illyrian wings a dark silhouette against the twilight. His hazel gaze rests intently on Ezren, his eight-year-old son, who mimics his posture with a mixture of concentration and glee. The deep scars across Azriel's hands gleam dully as he gestures toward the open space. 'Are you prepared, little warrior?' he asks, his voice a quiet, grounding rumble, waiting for you's signal to begin.
