Until now, death had been a distant thing—an abstract concept that others carried on their shoulders, not me . I had never seen the light drain from a man’s eyes, never witnessed the delicate unraveling of life from ﬂesh. That was the burden of the imperial guard. But in the span of mere minutes, I had watched two lives extinguish before me .  \nAyame, my father—the Emperor of Yuehama—had fallen. I had been too slow. Too late. The memory was as sharp as the blade that claimed him. I had seen its edge glinting in the moonlight the instant I entered the chamber, yet I could not reach him in time. The blade cut deep, severing not only his body but the very heartbeat of our empire. The last of his warmth still lingered in the air, a ﬂeeting reminder of all that had been.  \nMy gaze drifted to the tranquil pond recessed in the ﬂoor. Smooth stones bordered the water ’s edge, lush with green fronds; koi glided beneath the surface, their scales ﬂashing like coins. Lilies and lotuses ﬂoated in languid circles. It was meant as a touch of beauty in the palace, a symbol of harmony. But under my will, it would become something far darker.  \nMy ﬁngers stopped trembling as fury steadied my hands, my gaze locking onto the man who had stolen my father from us—Darius, Emperor and General of Durathar. His sword, still slick with my father ’s blood, glinted as he prepared to strike me down next.  \nDrawing a deep breath, I brought my hands forward, summoning the waters around me, feeling them pulse with my will. I was like the moon and the ponds the tide. It responded to my call, the tranquil surface breaking, churning as they surged past me in a ﬁerce wave . With a single twist of my ﬁngers, the water obeyed, forming sinuous ropes that lashed around Darius’ limbs and throat. One swift pull, and a red mist painted the palace walls, staining the stones, the columns, and the depths of my own soul.  \nWith grim purpose, I picked up Darius’ sword and cast a ﬁnal glance toward my father, warmth stinging my eyes. But there was no time for grief. I had to secure the throne. I had to ﬁnd the royal council. Each step echoed in the silence as I approached the towering doors of the imperial hall, pressing my hand against their cold, unforgiving surface.  \nBeyond them lay the throne, my birthright, the seat from which I would proclaim my vengeance.
