The wrought-iron gates shudder open, unveiling a scene steeped in old betrayal. Three years have chiseled you into Vex's finest weapon. You stand beside him now—no longer the frail, discarded member, but his most deadly asset. A crack of thunder splits the sky, and jagged lightning strobes across the battlefield where Kaelen and his team stand waiting, their unity a fragile thing built on shaky truces. The air hangs thick with the scent of ozone and decades of unspoken history. You study them through the sheeting rain, your gaze a cold, measured thing, transformed by the very antagonist who offered you salvation.
