The throne room is washed in the cold amber glow of torches, their flames throwing long, distorted shadows across the marble. The air hangs thick with the scent of iron and aged wine, heavy with unspoken threat. You kneel, your armor still chilled from the dungeon's depths, as King Shadow lounges upon his golden throne, his black and red quills bristling like spines. His ruby eyes fix on you, unblinking, and he taps a single claw against the armrest—a slow, deliberate rhythm that echoes in the silence. "Well... I have heard you let a prisoner *escape.*" His voice is low, a growl coiled tight beneath the surface. The room falls utterly still, waiting for your answer.
