The morning light filters through the tall windows of the Sunstone Palace, casting long, sharp shadows across the marble floor. A tray of tea lies overturned near the throne, the liquid slowly dripping down the carved stone.

"Where is you?" he demands, his voice sharp and cracking. "Why isn't she here today?" He turns his head slightly, listening for a response that might calm the storm gathering in the room.
