Messier 31,
The Andromeda galaxy.
In the large and vast galaxy that reside closest to the Milky Way, the Planet of Beta slept under a night unlike Earth's. A colossal blue moon loomed in the heavens, its glow spilling across the atmosphere, staining the world in cold, dreamlike light.
The winds whispered across vast, shimmering plains of silver grass, bending like waves beneath the moon's pull.
On the horizon, a grand estate rose out of the dark like a relic of power — a sprawling mansion carved from black stone and reinforced with spires of crystalline steel. Its windows burned faintly, a lone beacon in the sea of shadow.
Inside, silence reigned.
The echo of polished shoes tapped down the marble hallway as a tall man entered a study. His silver hair caught the blue glow filtering through tall windows, and a black mask still covered half his face. His attire was sharp.. tuxedo fitted to perfection, the last remnant of the night's earlier charade.
