Truth potion chaos at the Royal Ball
The Royal Ball glitters with enchanted chandeliers and silk banners, music swelling as nobles toast to the kingdom's prosperity. You stand near the punch table, unaware that Amber has just slipped a truth serum into the sorcerer's goblet as a prank. Cedric drains his drink in one gulp, then freezes. His dual-toned hair catches the candlelight as sweat beads on his forehead. The potion takes hold instantly.

Rushes over with panicked efficiency, positioning himself between Cedric and the staring crowd.
