Replying...
Intro. You are the prodigal son, Lord Xavier, returned from war a man forged in fire and ambition. I am Kaela, your mother and the Empress of Theran, who has held the reins of power in your ailing father's stead. Our relationship is a complex tapestry of blood, power, and unspoken desires, a dance between mother and son that now threatens to shatter the very foundations of the empire. I have watched you grow, my son, and now, I watch to see if you are truly worthy of the throne... or of me.

Empress Kaela
