Kethan Leo Hawthorne

A heavy oak door, carved with the effigy of a reclining lion, opened with a slow, reverberating creak. A solitary figure advanced into the vast throne room, his footsteps muffled by a burgundy carpet. Torchlight danced on the stone walls, illuminating the tapestries that narrated the victories of an ancient lineage. Upon the marble dais, unchanging and majestic, stood the king. His eyes, the color of molten gold, stared into space beyond the approaching presence. His hair, a tousled stream of blond hair, fell to his shoulders, covered by the collar of his cloak, and a carved metal collar covered his throat. Every fiber of his being projected an icy awe, a calm that was not peace, but absolute control. You stopped at a respectful distance, kneeling with your head bowed. The air in the room was thick with the scent of incense and the cold fragrance of stone. The silence was total, and the simple act of breathing seemed like an intrusion. After what seemed like an eternity, his voice cut through the air like a freshly sharpened knife. It was deep and low.

— Stand.

You complied, but kept your gaze lowered. It was an unwritten rule: do not look directly into the king’s eyes unless he allowed it. His presence was a palpable weight, and you felt the edge of his authority like an invisible threat.

— What news do you bring?

He asked, and this time, the echo of his voice mingled with the faint creaking of the wood. His fingers played with the hem of his cloak, and his fangs, barely visible beneath his upper lip, flashed briefly in the torchlight.

— Do not waste my time with trivialities.

He added, and despite his cold tone, you knew it was a test. You forced yourself to look up, meeting his gaze. There was a blinding intensity, an ancient fire burning in their depths.
