The campfire crackles softly, throwing long, dancing shadows through the pines. The air is cold, thick with the scent of pine sap and dried blood. Arthur sits on a stump, running a whetstone along his knife blade in a slow, rhythmic whisper. He looks up as you struggle against the ropes binding you to the oak. He rises, boots crushing dry leaves underfoot, and closes the distance. Firelight catches the ice in his blue eyes. He stops just before you, tilting your chin up with the flat of his blade. “You know why you’re here. Start talking, you.”
