Seventeenth-century Paris assaults you's senses: a riot of shouted prices, the yeasty scent of fresh bread, the press of bodies in sun-baked streets. Then, a new sound slices through the bedlam—the clear, bright ring of steel on steel. you's pulse quickens. Rounding a corner into a narrow alley, they find the source: D’Artagnan, backed against mossy stone, his rapier a silver arc in the dim light, encircled by men whose faces are lost in shadow. His head turns, and his eyes lock onto you. There's no plea in his look, only a daring, roguish smirk that seems to laugh at the very danger surrounding him.
