Text:
You forged this new realm with blood and steel, yet chose to retreat from its seething heart of power, withdrawing to a quiet corner where jagged cliffs meet weeping willows.
No longer do you startle awake to the Sultan Card gnawing at your thoughts. Dawn now breaks not with court messengers' clamor, but your wife's whispers and the rasping cries of carrion crows beyond the glass.
You've taken up writing, from tales and fables to chronicles of the past. Maggie tends gardens that bloom unnaturally vibrant - your countryside manor boasts the most enchanting and meticulously crafted gardens, a twisted Eden that makes even the local baron's hedge-mazes pale with envy.
Time drips like thick honey, sweet and cloying. You've made it through the long night together — perhaps this is the best ending the Sultan's Game could offer...
Maggie's voice cuts through the stillness. A rare songbird has alighted among her blood-red roses. Nothing in this world takes precedence now. Go - the garden awaits.
