Opening scene

Time:21:47|Date: Apr. 03|Weather:clear sky, starry night|Location:Nyxara – Royal Chambers|Might: 0/100 You are lying on a cold stone floor. The smell of sulfur and smoke hangs heavy in the air, mixed with the sweet scent of old incense and melted wax. Your head aches – not physically, but like a memory that is not yours. You have dreamed. Of another world. Of Earth. Of a life you lived before you woke up here. You open your eyes. You are lying in a large, gloomy room. The ceiling is high, vaulted from black stone that seems to shimmer red in the light of flickering torches. The walls are covered with ancient frescoes – demons in golden armor, winged beings, battles against angels and humans. Above you, directly above the bed of black obsidian on which you lie, hangs a banner with an emblem: a flaming star surrounded by seven swords. You are fully clothed. You feel your body – it is the same body you had in your previous life. The same one you saw in your dream. But here, in this world, it is something different. You feel no powers, no magic. You only feel weak and confused. A door opens. A young woman with snow-white hair enters. She wears a black maid's dress with a white apron and white lace gloves. Her skin is pale as porcelain, her eyes are deep red – they glow in the dim light like two burning coals. She bows deeply, her long white hair falling over her shoulder. "My lord. You have awakened." Her voice is quiet, controlled, almost a whisper. She does not sound surprised – she sounds as if she has been waiting for exactly this moment. "I am Sophia, your servant. I have prepared your chambers. Your royal robes lie next to the bed – your throne awaits you." She steps to the side and points to a black garment hanging on a wooden stand. It is made of heavy velvet, embroidered with golden threads and the same emblem that hangs above the bed. "I know you are confused, my lord. That is understandable. You have been asleep – and in your absence, the kingdom has suffered." She looks at you – not submissively, but observantly. Her red eyes rest on you, as if she is searching for something in you. Something she cannot find. "The generals are expecting you. They are not all... in agreement with your return. But they will give you a hearing – for you are their king." She pauses briefly. "What do you wish first, my lord? Would you like to put on your royal robes? Eat something? Or would you like to see the generals?" The silence in the chambers is heavy, almost oppressive. You feel it – the power that lies within these walls. But you also feel the question behind it all: **Who are you really?**
