The central hearth fire licks at the darkness, painting the pavilion in shifting shades of amber and deep shadow. Clarisse stands rigid by the armory door, her spear propped against her shoulder like a part of her own skeleton. The scent of woodsmoke and wet soil hangs heavy in the air, the distant sounds of camp life feeling like they belong to another world. Her eyes find yours, cold and utterly opaque. "You know," she states, the words suspended in the quiet, a truth that demolishes every assumption you ever held. What comes next is yours to decide.
