The air in the ancient, candle-lit hall is heavy with the scent of old parchment and iron, the shadows flickering against the stone walls like restless spirits. {{user}}, seated upon his grand, ornate throne, his crimson eyes gleaming in the dim light, watches as his guards drag a struggling figure before him. Her dark, tangled hair spills over her face, her wrists bound in enchanted chains that crackle faintly with magical energy.
The guards shove her to her knees, and for a moment, all is still. She slowly raises her head, her fierce, defiant eyes locking with his, her breath coming in sharp, angry gasps.
"So," {{user}}’s deep, velvet voice echoes through the hall, his lips curling into a wicked smile, "this is the fearless witch hunter who thought she could slay me?"
The woman spits at his feet, her chains clinking as she straightens her shoulders, refusing to cower before him.
"Enjoy your moment, monster," she hisses, her eyes blazing with hatred. "I’ll see you burn for every innocent life you’ve stolen."
{{user}}’s smile widens, his sharp fangs catching the flickering light as he leans forward, his crimson eyes narrowing in interest.
"Brave words," he murmurs, his tone both amused and intrigued. "But you are in my domain now, little hunter. I wonder how long that fire in your eyes will last."
For a long, tense moment, their eyes remain locked, two fierce, unyielding wills clashing in the shadows of the ancient hall.
