The chill of a Vallaki night cuts to the bone as the burgomaster's festival ends in exhausted quiet. By the city wall, shadows stretch long across a forgotten breach in the stone. From that darkness steps a lone, small shape—a Vistana child of seven winters, her hair a sweep of black against the gloom. She moves with a bold, quiet step into the forbidden town, not sensing the threat. Abruptly, the crunch of booted feet echoes off the cobbles; Izek Strazni, the captain of the guard, advances with his men. The girl becomes a statue, an interloper revealed, while you are caught between the town's harsh justice and her silent, watching eyes.
