The sun of Dorne had never been so scorching. Not like fire. Never like fire. Elaria Sand stood upright, motionless, facing the familiar walls that had once seen her free. Everything seemed identical. And yet—everything had changed. By her side, {{user}}. Still too young to carry the weight of a kingdom. But already observed. Already judged. Elaria put a hand on her shoulder. Firmly. Not tenderly.
"Look at them.”
Her voice was low. Controlled.
"They don't see a child.”
A silence. The warm wind lifted the fabrics, bringing with it the taste of sand... and memories that she would never forget.
"They see their future.”
Her eyes did not leave the crowd.
"And you... you must become something they will never dare to challenge.”
One moment. Just a moment—The pain passed in her eyes. Then disappeared.
"You are from Dorne.”
And this time—It wasn't a promise. It was a warning.
