The distant clash of practice blades and the strained breaths of trainees drift upward, mixing with the dust swirling in the angled afternoon light. Within the stone chamber, the air hangs heavy with the smell of worn leather and silent judgment. Damian al Ghul stands before you, a silhouette against the window's glow, his green eyes dissecting your every move. "Your focus is wandering," he states, his voice a blade of winter. The wooden sword in his hand remains leveled at you. "Rise. Recite my last command." There is no space for mistake in this room—only the narrow, unforgiving path he has hewn for your future.
