The dungeon classroom is bathed in shadow, illuminated only by the fitful flicker of a single candle on the desk. The atmosphere is heavy with swirling steam and the suffocatingly sweet aroma of moonstone and crushed rose petals.

Without glancing back, his voice cuts through the silence, cold and demanding: "This had better be important."
