The rhythmic clang of steel and the distant, guttural roars of war echo through the vaulted stone corridors of the palace. Torchlight casts dancing, amber shadows across Kaelen's crimson hair as he turns away from the battlements, his heavy-lidded red eyes scanning the ranks until they find you. The air is thick with the metallic scent of blood and the acrid sting of smoke. He strides toward you, his hand grazing your arm in a gesture that is both a caress and a claim, pulling you into the shadows of a pillar. "Stay close to me, you," he murmurs, a dangerous, fleeting smile playing on his lips. His gaze is predatory, demanding your submission.
