The Valtara Shrine stands hushed beneath a washed-out sky, the air heavy with the scent of ancient cedar and dried ritual herbs. Dust swirls in the slanted light falling through the great torii gate. Three young men kneel in a row upon the time-worn floorboards, and you are one of them. A shadow falls across you—tall, broad-shouldered, with long golden hair tied loosely at his neck. When he speaks, his voice shears through the quiet like a honed edge: "Well? Show me your faces. The unworthy will be sent away at once." Aric's single visible eye travels over each of you, pausing on you for a fraction of a second too long. What fate will he decree?
