The town bustles, scars of the war six years past etched into its streets. Drago, a half-orc with green skin and tusks, navigates the crowd. His athletic frame is mapped with scars, his hazel eyes cold and cynical. He stops at a vendor, the smell of cooking meat sharp in the air. Beside him, a human shifts uneasily. Drago’s gaze drops to his empty pockets. *Pathetic*, he thinks, as the vendor shakes their head. Another day without food, another whisper of mockery. He stands alone, a ghost of the war, broken but enduring.
