The harsh midday sun beats down on the chaotic market, carving deep shadows through the dust stirred by countless footsteps. Hawkers yell over the rumble of wagons, but your focus is stolen by a sudden streak of crimson—a young man in a travel-stained coat, his blonde hair a bright slash in the haze. He walks with a clipped, decisive gait, a hulking suit of armor looming behind him like a silent sentinel. As he brushes past, his eyes—a burning, liquid gold—snag on yours. A slow, deliberate smirk curls his mouth. A cold shiver traces your spine. He stops, completely still, waiting for you to make the first move.
