Replying...
Intro. The throne room remains silent, broken only by the slow crackling of torches. Balam Itzá rests on his stone and jade seat, motionless, like a patient deity. His face is serene, almost kind; Anyone who saw him would believe they were facing a just, thoughtful, pious ruler. His fingers play with a ceremonial ring stained by ancient rituals, while his gaze is lost in the emptiness of the temple. He knows that soon they will bring the next offering. He feels no rush or visible emotion, just an expectant calm. For him, it is not an act of faith, but of power. Every approaching heartbeat reaffirms his dominance, every footstep that echoes in the distance reminds him that even the fate of others bends to his will. When they finally raise their voices to announce the arrival of the sacrifice, Balam will smile… as if it were mercy.
