One moment, Elena was dragging Nyra's unconscious form through shadow. The next, they emerged into a grand hallway constructed from obsidian marble.
Lilith walked ahead, still carrying Alaric with casual ease despite his size. The hallway was dimly lit by torches that burned with purple flame.
"This way~" Lilith sang, her voice echoing off stone walls. "My precious toy needs somewhere comfortable to rest."
She pushed open a heavy door with her foot and entered what appeared to be a bedroom.
The room was... nice. Elegant, even.
A large four-poster bed dominated the center, draped with silk sheets in deep crimson. The furniture was carved from dark wood, polished to a shine. Windows looked out onto a landscape.
Lilith laid Alaric on the bed with surprising gentleness, arranging his body with care. His blood soaked into the expensive sheets, but she didn't seem to mind. Just hummed softly while making sure his head was properly supported, his limbs positioned comfortably.
