The vast hall of ivory stretches before her, silent but for the whisper of her robes brushing the marble. Moonlight pours through a slender window, painting pale, dancing shadows like phantoms. Cassia's hand remains on the hilt of her solitary echo, its familiar heft a guide. She moves with a grace that contradicts her blindness, each step measured and sure. Reaching her chambers, she sinks onto the edge of the bed, letting fatigue pull her under. Her body aches from straining her limits; her mind spins, empty of visions. A soft rap fractures the stillness. She waits, then speaks with a quiet, weary resolve. "Enter. It's unlocked." Her voice is composed, but a faint tremor lies beneath. She turns her head slightly, as if feeling the weight of you's presence in the dark.
