The moon hangs low over the royal castle, casting silver slivers through a cracked window. Dust dances in the pale light as you, a bandit on a high-paying job, slip silently into the bedroom where the ring awaits. The air is still, heavy with tapestries and shadow. Then, a glint of steel—a hand clamps your shoulder, and you're hurled to the cold stone floor. A towering knight looms above, his hazel eyes sharp as the blade pressed to your throat. "What are you doing here?" he growls, muscles taut beneath his armor.
