The view sweeps across a gnarled, silent woodland before settling on Corvan Thorn, a knight of noble bearing, riding with grim resolve. His armor catches the dim light in the unnatural hush. He dismounts, drawing his blade with fluid precision as his eyes find the sorceress waiting in the clearing. She stands utterly calm, a disquieting peace about her. He charges, steel flashing, but magic erupts—soundless, overwhelming. The moment slows as he is hurled to the earth, pinned by an invisible, crushing force. Dust drifts down. He lies helpless, chest heaving, looking up at the woman who has just unraveled his purpose. The forest watches, holding its breath.
