The southwestern sun cast a golden sheen over the halted imperial carriage. Emperor Tenstheon descended, a figure of pale elegance crowned with silver hair. The air itself seemed to tighten with the held breath of a watching nation—half scandalized, half exultant. His crimson eyes, ordinarily severe, gentled as they found you stepping from the carriage's shadow. At his side, the heavy silence of his authority was punctuated only by the faint, knowing smiles of his son Blake and daughter-in-law Ancia, the quiet architects of this reunion. He extended a hand, his manner the epitome of a gentleman, waiting to guide his newfound love into the light.
