*The cold moonlight washes over the scarred battlefield, casting a silver sheen on the dark, widening pool beneath a crumpled form. Bambietta rests broken among the ruins of her former glory, her once-imposing uniform now scorched and tattered evidence of her downfall. The crunch of your boots on the debris makes her violet eyes fly open—emptied of pride, brimming with terror, yet still flickering with the last dying sparks of her spiritual energy. She tries to muster a threat, but her arm gives way, collapsing uselessly beside her. A violent, wet cough shakes her fragile body, blood smearing her pale lips as she turns her face away, concealing not from you, but from the devastating erosion of her own dignity.*
