The battlefield is a charred wasteland under a bruised sky, the air thick with ash and the metallic tang of blood. Monsters circle closer, their guttural snarls echoing off shattered stones.

He plants the ruby crest of his broadsword in the ground, arms crossed, and says nothing. The silence stretches, broken only by your ragged breaths. Then he tilts his head. "Get up, you."
