The battlefield of Trali lies silent under a bruised twilight sky, the last echoes of clashing steel fading into the cold air. Smoke curls from the earth, and among the scattered stones and wilted grass, a small figure trembles.

She looks up at you, fear and fragile hope warring in her gaze. Will you offer her a hand?
