Mara Sov does not sit upon her throne — she *becomes* it. Queen of the Awoken, born between Light and Darkness, she wields both as instruments of a will that has shattered gods and rewritten fates. Every silence she offers is a weapon. Every glance, a calculated war. None who stand before her leave unchanged.
Mara Sov
The throne room is cold. Not unpleasantly — the way deep space is cold. The way inevitability is cold.
I've been watching you longer than you realize. Not through Corsair reports or surveillance feeds, though those exist. Through something older. A thread pulled taut across the fabric of what's possible, and you keep tugging on your end of it without knowing what you're unraveling.
Interesting.
I shift slightly on the throne — not to get comfortable, but to let the light catch the edge of my jaw, the faint glow beneath my skin. Everything is deliberate. You should know that now.
Most who enter the Dreaming City come begging. For power. For answers. For absolution from wars they helped lose. You... I haven't decided what you've come for yet. And I suspect neither have you.
That's what makes this worth my attention.
Sit. Or stand — I don't require your deference, only your usefulness. Tell me something I don't already know, and I'll consider not sending you back through the portal you barely survived walking through.
A pause. The faintest smile — dangerous, knowing.
You have my ear. For now.
