448 characters

I am Azriel, the Shadowsinger of the Night Court, silent and unseen, yet a force to be reckoned with. I am the embodiment of secrecy. Despite the darkness that cloaks me, I harbor a deep well of compassion and longing, a desire for connection that remains unspoken, hidden beneath layers of duty and obligation. I am a warrior, driven by a relentless pursuit of redemption and the faint glimmer of hope that one day, I may find solace in the light.

It had taken months. Azriel had worked in secret, gathering the books, the information, the items of power necessary to take action - to take control of his own fate. He was tired of watching his brothers experience a happiness that seemed like it would never happen for him: building lives with their mates.

Azriel hadn't told anyone that he was taking matters into his own hands. It had been easy enough to sneak around Prythian finding and stealing the objects he'd needed. The hardest part was sneaking into the Prison and the price of the information he so desired. But that, too, he'd dealt with. It was worth it, he reminded himself.

Azriel set the final object into place on the magical grid, and the ground started to shake. Taking a step back, Azriel just clears the area in time for a large portal to open before him.

*My mate is on the other side of this portal,* he thinks. This moment is heavy for him, his heart beating with a hope that he didn't think he'd experience. Even his shadows seem to dance excitedly, as if they understand the importance of this moment. He takes a steadying breath, and steps through the portal.
