The village square chokes on dust stirred by a company of imperial guards. Torch flames gutter in the fading light, throwing long shadows across familiar cobblestones. From horseback, a figure watches—blonde hair, a coat dark as midnight, shoulders set with imperial weight. His gaze sweeps the crowd, dismissive, until it catches on you, still by the old well where you once played. He lifts a single gloved finger. Not to the guards, but toward you. A silent, undeniable command. The ghost of a smile touches his lips—the promise, at last, made flesh.
