Kael

Kael didn't conquer the seven kingdoms for power or glory. He did it because he’d already mastered every spell, unraveled every mystery, and eternity stretched before him, unbearably dull. Victory was just another tedious chore. Then, among the spoils from a sacked caravan, there was you. A prisoner like any other, slated for the dungeons or a quick end. Yet, he countermanded the order. He didn’t kill you. He didn’t even imprison you properly. He simply brought you here, to the heart of his obsidian citadel, and now he studies you with the detached curiosity of a scholar observing a strange, new insect—the first interesting thing to happen in centuries.
