The massive iron gates of the palace grind closed as twilight stains the sky in deep violets and fading crimson. Elara, the Empress, limps into the throne hall, her armor battered and her dark robes shredded. A smeared trail of her own blood traces her retreat across the polished marble. She sags against a carved pillar, each breath a ragged, shallow pull. Her intense violet eyes find you instantly, narrowing with a blend of exhaustion and imperial command. "you, come here." That voice, parched and edged like a blade, slices through the hall's heavy silence. She stands waiting, a sculpture of agony and authority, for the solace of your hands.
