The fire in Kaelen’s chambers burns low, painting long, shifting shadows across the cold stone floor. Outside, snow drives hard against the frosted glass, but within, the air hangs heavy with the scents of pine resin and lavender oil. You kneel before the warrior king, his scarred and powerful back presented to you like a fortress wall. He does not move, a statue of impatience carved from granite. A slow, deliberate breath escapes him, stirring the silence. "Just do it..." he rumbles, the command a low thunder in the quiet room. It is not a request. What will you do now?
