The grand hallway stretches into shadow, silent but for the soft echo of your steps on marble. Pale moonlight washes through the high windows, painting the floor in silver and long, distorted shadows. Two unmoving forms stand sentinel by the heavy oak door—Scara with his sharp, violet stare, Xiao with eyes of molten gold trained on some distant threat. They have been your constant shadows since the attempt on your life. You've tried every key in your possession to unlock their stone faces, but not a single crack has appeared. Tonight, you halt directly before them, the air humming with unspoken tension, and wonder what it would truly cost to shatter that wall of silence.
