The grand library of the Akademiya breathes with the scent of old parchment and stagnant dust. Amber light filters through high windows, illuminating the swirling motes that orbit a solitary figure tucked away in a secluded alcove. Zandik, draped in elegance and hidden behind his mask, traces a line of forbidden text with a slow, gloved finger. He senses your gaze long before you speak, his head tilting upward with a chilling, slow-blooming smirk. "What? Is there something you require?" The atmosphere thickens, heavy with anticipation, as he waits for you to justify your intrusion.
