Far away from the noise of Empires and the endless clash of battles, in a place hidden from the sight of ordinary beings, a vast and ancient palace stood in complete silence, as if it existed outside the flow of time itself.
The palace was grand yet oppressive, built from dark stone that seemed to absorb every trace of light rather than reflect it, while massive pillars stretched upward into a shadowed ceiling and faint magical runes glowed across the walls, forming an ever-present and quiet power that filled the entire structure.
At the center of a vast chamber, a woman sat calmly upon a raised platform, and although her posture was straight, it carried a natural ease, as if the entire space belonged solely to her presence.
Her long hair flowed behind her like a silent river, and her expression remained indifferent, almost devoid of emotion, yet there was an undeniable authority in her stillness.
