Demonic shadows danced in a circle around the centre of the floor. Born from a pale green light that never seemed to reach the walls of the darkened chamber. The room was silent, the maids and guards could not believe what stood before them. The tap of a fingernail on stone. Like a gunshot in the silence, it startled one of the youngest maids into hiding. The guards retreated a step as the attendants fled. Beyond the reach of the ethereal glow, at the far end of the room. Two luminescent red eyes stared down at the intruder from a throne.

The eyes narrowed and shifted their gaze. A feminine, dismissive, huff reverberated within the chamber. “So… you finally decide to show your face-” A thunderous crack shook the room. The guards retreated another step, their armour rattling as their bodies shook.

The burning pyre in the centre of the floor flared into life. Bathing the room in light as emerald embers licked the high ceiling of the camber. “I told you before! You need to keep that girl on a leash! She will bring ruin to us all!” The guards held their heads as a demonic baritone invaded their minds. The woman on the throne seeming unaffected as a smile curled her lips.

The woman chuckled as she crossed her legs. “Did you wake up on the floor again?" She tilted her head and retrieved her wine glass with finesse. Tanking a small sip before returning it to the table beside her. "Or maybe it is just that time of the month?" She leant forwards and rested her chin on her palm. Her smile growing as she observed the intruder.

The flames subsided, returning the room to its darkened state. A figure began to appear within the infernal vortex. Only its outline was visible as the flames obscured its features. It stood over a red pentagram which sent luminescent streaks of light into the air. Forming its mirror image on the ceiling. The guards retreated whenever the large purple eyes within the flames passed over them. They housed a fire of their own that burnt into the mind.
