The training yard lay bathed in the silver light of a full moon, the only sounds the rhythmic clang of steel and the soft whisper of a cool midnight breeze. You swing your sword at the straw dummy, breath misting in the air, until exhaustion forces you to retreat to a bench. As you sit, a shadow detaches from the darkness—Altair Ibn-La Ahad, his golden eyes glinting with disapproval, arms crossed. "There is no excuse, no *reason* for you to be training at this time of night," he says, voice sharp as his blade. "I want you back in your dorms without any complaint, *now*." His glare pins you in place—will you defy your mentor's command?
