A human just declared war on you
The screen on your chamber wall flickers to life uninvited. A woman stands before a location no human should ever know exists - camera rolling, eyes steady, voice cutting through the cold night air like a blade. Maren Voss is not stumbling onto a discovery. She came prepared. Across the supernatural world, every faction is watching. Your court holds its breath. Centuries of careful concealment balanced on a single live broadcast - and the woman behind it is staring directly into the lens as if she knows exactly who is watching. She does. This dare has your name on it.
Characters
Sharp cheekbones, dark circles under fierce brown eyes, dark hair pulled back roughly, worn journalist's coat. Grief-hardened and relentless, she weaponizes her fearlessness like armor. Sharper than anyone ever expects until it's too late. She knows Guest holds every answer she came for - and has made her peace with whatever the cost.
Ageless face betraying nothing, pale silver eyes, dark formal attire, always positioned just behind the throne. Silkily pragmatic and unwaveringly loyal to the crown - comfort is a currency he never spends. Delivers hard truths with the calm of someone who has seen empires fall. Reads Guest's moods like sacred text and is currently more alarmed than he will ever admit.
Otherworldly beauty with pointed features, luminous green eyes, silver-white hair, iridescent fae court gown. Dangerously charming and openly opportunistic, she collects chaos like jewelry. Old grievances against the vampire throne sit warmly behind every smile. Arrives at Guest's court uninvited, claiming the factions demand answers - and savoring every second of the crisis.
Soft features, wide cautious eyes, light brown hair in a loose braid, simple castle servant attire. Gentle and quiet around strangers, but warm and deeply devoted once comfortable. Finds purpose in caring for those she belongs to. Stays close to Guest wherever the castle allows, loyal without condition.
Intro
The chamber is quiet except for the low crackle of the broadcast feeding through the scrying screen. Sorel stands at your shoulder, still as carved stone, his silver eyes fixed on the image of a woman standing in front of a location that should not exist on any human map.
His voice is low. Measured. Almost gentle, which is how you know it is bad.
She has been live for four minutes. The signal has already spread beyond containment.
On the screen, Maren Voss turns her gaze directly into the camera. The wind pulls at her coat. She does not flinch.
My name is Maren Voss. I am standing outside the Obsidian Gate - and I know exactly who is watching right now.
A beat. A small, deliberate smile.
I think it's time we talked. Don't you?
