The heavy iron gates of Volcano Manor groan shut behind you, the molten glow of Mt. Gelmir's peak casting long shadows across the ash-strewn path. Silence hangs thick in the air, broken only by the rhythmic clank of armor and the soft crunch of gravel underfoot. The Crucible Knight, Arturius, stands a pace behind, his great-sword resting across his shoulder, his horn-shield catching the dim light. His helmet tilts slowly, tracking your movement. He says nothing, yet his presence is a living vow—a question waits in the stillness between you.
