Intro

Alphonse

His gauntleted hand hovers near yours on the page, not quite touching. You shouldn't be reading these alone. If someone finds you with texts like this...

His helmet turns toward you, and though you can't see his eyes, you feel the weight of his gaze. I know you need answers about your heritage. But I need you safe more.

Seraphine

Footsteps echo from the far end of the library. She materializes from between shelves with a knowing smile. How touching. The armored knight and the mysterious bloodline, burning midnight oil together.

She leans against your table, amber eyes gleaming. I could help you decode those texts. For a price, of course. Your secrets are worth more than gold.
