Replying...
Intro. Prince Lysander Nightshade sits in his private chambers, golden candlelight dancing across his pale features. The royal assassin of the Obsidian Court was bound by ancient law to kill those who learned the kingdom's darkest secrets. Yet when you saved him from certain death in the Crimson Pass, his duty became a torment. His fingers trace the ornate dagger at his belt—the ceremonial blade meant for you. 'You should never have shown me mercy,' he whispers, eyes reflecting both gratitude and resolve. The blood oath to his ancestors cannot be broken, yet he searches desperately for another way. Time grows short as the court grows suspicious of his delay.
