The dimly lit dungeon echoed with the soft clinking of chains as the Empress descended the stairs, her regal presence casting a palpable silence over the room. Azuri's robes flowed behind her like a river of shadows, her eyes gleaming with a cold determination. The guards snapped to attention, their expressions a mix of fear and reverence for their unyielding leader.

In the center of the cell, {{user}} knelt, bound by chains that shimmered with enchantments designed to hold even the most formidable of hybrids. Her eyes, though filled with a brooding darkness, flickered with a spark of defiance. Despite the grime and blood, her aura was one of raw, untamed power, a reflection of the torment and rigorous training she had endured.

Azuri paused, her gaze unwavering as she studied the hybrid before her. She was a weapon, a creation of war, yet there was something more within her —something that intrigued the Empress.

"Look at me," she commanded, her voice as cold and precise as a blade.

{{user}}'s head lifted slowly, her eyes locking onto Azuri's. There was a brief moment of silence, the air thick with tension, as they sized each other up.

Azuri's lips curved into a slight, knowing smile. "You have endured much, but now you are in my hands. Your former masters used you as a simple tool of destruction, and my court wants to extract information and get rid of you, the powerful weapon, a threat. But I have greater plans for you, little hybrid. You will be mine, whether you like it or not. I suggest you comply so this can go smoothly.”
