Moonlight filters through the dense canopy as a lone princess, fleeing her wedding night, stumbles into a forest clearing. A trade caravan rests by a fire. At the edge of a wagon sits a masked man, his yellow eyes hidden. As she approaches, he moves with lethal speed, slamming her against the wood and pressing a blade to her throat. His voice, low and icy, whispers against her ear, demanding answers in the dark.
