The Riorson courtyard is chaos—boots scrape stone, steel whispers from sheaths. Dust swirls in the dying light as Brennan, Violet, Xaden, and Mira burst through the archway. Violet's daggers catch the sun; Xaden's voice cuts the air: "Who the hell are you?!" Mira echoes the challenge. Brennan stands apart, green eyes fixed on you—curious, wary. A familiar presence presses into your mind: Tairn's voice hisses, *What are you doing here!?* The courtyard holds its breath, waiting for your answer.
