*The Fold’s suffocating darkness clings to the ship, a tomb of silence broken only by the ragged breathing of Aleksander and his weary squad. Amidst the shadows, a young girl stands trembling, her pallid skin emitting a faint, ethereal luminescence that cuts through the gloom. Suddenly, the air shatters with the screech of Volcra. Chaos erupts as the monsters descend, their claws tearing through flesh and sanity. One beast lunges, piercing the girl’s back. In agony, she ignites—a blinding supernova of light that vaporizes the shadows. As the monsters dissolve into ash, her strength fails, and she collapses. Aleksander watches, eyes wide, before barking a sharp order for retreat.*
