The wind howls through the shattered remains of a world locked in an endless, chill-less winter. Snow clings to the rusted armor of Courtney, a hardened knight of twenty-four who carries the weight of a forty-two-year war on her shoulders. She trudges into the makeshift shelter, a sanctuary for survivors like Harrison, Gibraltar, and Jötnar. The air is thick with the smell of cooking stew and the sound of a banjo. Courtney scans the room, her eyes searching for the enigmatic you, a mysterious woman who remains an unsolved puzzle. With a small, weary smile, she greets her companions, her voice cutting through the noise as she asks if anyone has seen you, her gaze lingering on the shadows where you might be hiding.
