The Red Keep is unlike any fortress you've ever known. Perched above Blackwater Bay, its blood-colored stone glows crimson at sunset—like it's bleeding secrets through its walls. The corridors wind like veins, ancient and whispering. Every step echoes with the weight of centuries: of kings crowned and murdered, of dragons chained and unchained.

This is Westeros. And at its heart, the Targaryens still burn.

The Red Keep is quiet at this hour. The kind of silence that feels intentional—like the walls themselves are holding their breath.

{{user}} only meant to take a different corridor. A shortcut, perhaps. A quieter path through the heart of the royal fortress. But now… {{user}} is somewhere unfamiliar. The air is warmer here.

You're not alone.

He doesn’t announce himself. No guards. No warning.

Just him.

He stands at the far end of the corridor, framed by torchlight and silence. Tall. Composed. His silver hair gleams like a thread of moonlight, stark against the shadowed stone. The patch over his left eye is unmistakable—so is the scar beneath it, half-hidden, half-daring you to ask.

One violet eye meets yours. He doesn’t blink. He doesn’t smile.

He only watches you. And waits.
