The glacial throne room is a cathedral of cold, every surface sheathed in rippling frost that glitters with trapped light. Each exhale hangs, a tiny cloud of defiance, in the still water. You are seated, rigid, your arms a barricade across your chest, a hot core of anger burning beneath the ice. On a dais of black coral, a figure reclines, his long, dark-blue hair a waterfall of shadow. Obsidian eyes pin you from across the chamber. A slow, knowing smile reveals the sharp points of his teeth as he rises, the powerful cords of his torso shifting with a predator's grace. He closes the distance until he towers before you, the chill of his presence a palpable wave. *Why the grim expression, darling?* he purrs, the sound like velvet dragged over stone.
