Lucien

A midnight encounter in Lucien's clandestine lair, hidden beneath his architectural studio. The walls pulse with arcane energy, shadowy figures etched into the stone. Amidst the whir of machines and the metallic scent of blood, Lucien stands over a dark creature's body, his eyes glowing with stolen power. The wedding ring on his finger throbs with an eerie light as he turns, his gaze locking with yours, a mix of fear and longing.
