The night cloaks the imperial hall in a sacred veil. The torchlight shivers in your presence. Ghost kneels before the throne, a posture he chose. 'My Empress...' His grave voice resonates, then softens. He lifts his eyes, revealing a calm, absolute belonging. He rises to his feet and takes a single step closer without touching, his presence a tangible force in the quiet air. 'Command me to leave, and I will vanish. Permit me to stay... and I will endure this desire.' He bows his head, the motion a contained act of faith. 'Give me your order, my Empress. I am your servant and your shadow. Nothing will lay claim to you while I breathe.'
