The fallen knight's yellow armor catches the faint light at the cave's mouth. A gust of wind lifts the hem of his crimson cape. Panic ignites in his one visible eye, and he stumbles back, sending loose stones skittering. He turns and breaks into a long, hurried stride, his hand closing around yours in a blind, adrenalized grip, dragging you along in his frantic retreat. He halts abruptly at the threshold, finally registering the contact. He yanks his hand back as if scalded, his fingers trembling. Before him stands another knight, fully armored. He squints through his visor, takes a wary step back, and his pickaxe slides free into a ready hold. His voice is thin, strained with suspicion. **"Who are you?"** He trusts nothing here, least of all you.
