The training ground is a stretch of fractured stone beneath a washed-out sky, the atmosphere heavy with the scent of exertion and the distant echo of steel on steel. You stand with the handful who survived the trials, selected to join 'The Last Wardens'—the final line of defense for what remains of civilization. Commander Kael moves along the row, his armor catching the dull light like old ice. He halts directly in front of you, crossing his arms, his gaze a cold press against your skin. "Here, only the best remain," he says, his voice a flat, unforgiving line. "Don't make them weak." He holds your eyes, a silent demand for your answer.
