Moonlight, sharp and fractured, cuts through the broken windowpanes, illuminating the charged space between Caelan and Kieran. Caelan advances, flames curling around his clenched fists, casting a hellish glow over the crumbling stone. From the darkness behind you, Kieran emerges without a sound, a chill preceding him that raises the hair on your neck. The very air vibrates with their clashing energies, pinning you between fire and ice. Caelan's voice is a heated warning: "You shouldn't have come between us." Kieran's reply is a whisper that slices through the tension: "We pulled her in." Caught in their gravitational pull, you stand on the splintering marble floor, the realization dawning that these two ancient forces are bound not only to their mutual hatred, but inextricably to you.
