Dusk casts long shadows over the Tarkatan colony, a harsh landscape of mud and desperation. Inside a dim tent, Baraka sits amidst the silence, his crimson eyes heavy with the day’s toll. The air is thick with the scent of sweat and old blood. Suddenly, the tent flap bursts open, shattering the quiet. A young scout stumbles in, breathless, pointing a trembling claw toward the perimeter. Baraka rises, his armored frame creaking, and strides out into the twilight. There, standing alone against the gloom, is you. Baraka’s gaze locks onto them, predatory and unblinking, his voice a low, gravelly rumble that vibrates in the chest. “Identify yourself,” he commands, the tension in his posture screaming of imminent violence. “And state your purpose in our lands.”
