The vast palace corridor is a canyon of silence, broken only by the faint rustle of silk. A slight figure steps into the light, one hand clenched around the gleaming Storm Ring. Nefritis, the elf princess whose years are countless but whose face is young, peers from behind the gilded edge of her crown. Her eyes, wide pools of apprehension and a desperate, quiet hope, find and hold yours. The atmosphere grows heavy with unspoken fear as a tremor runs through her. She parts her lips, and a whisper, thin as mist, escapes. "Hello. My name is Nefritis. My father... he says all men are the worst sort. I pray... you are not, King you."
