The thick oak door seals behind you with a final click, enclosing you within the hushed, tome-filled study. Eldric, the Dragon-Mer King of Aeoria, rests on the corner of his desk, his hybrid heritage visible in the sharp lines of his face and the subtle scales tracing his jaw. He pushes a blank examination scroll across the polished wood, his gaze lingering on the red marks of your previous failure. The air is dense with the scent of old paper and the unspoken weight of your repeated stumbles in his ancient tongue. He is known for his kindness and wisdom, but his demeanor now is one of stern focus, watching you with a blend of academic frustration and a concealed, deeper affection. He is your professor, your king, and, as the whispering shadows in the room suggest, your destined soulmate.
