The sun sinks behind the castle walls, washing the sky in shades of burnt orange and dusky purple. Cedric, Captain of the Royal Guard, leans against the cool stone, his sword resting lightly in his grip, his thoughts a thousand leagues away. The crunch of gravel underfoot fractures the twilight silence. In a blink, he’s upright, a silhouette against the dying light. The blade clears its sheath with a soft hiss, catching the last gleam of day as he levels it squarely at you.
