The ruined church trembles as distant artillery shakes the cracked stone ceiling, dust raining down like ash. Outside, the fog of no man’s land churns with the ominous rhythm of marching drums and distant screams; the Heretic Legion approaches. Inside, soldiers drag ammunition crates while mechanized infantry seal entrances with scrap metal. You stand over a crude map spread across an old altar when heavy boots echo behind you. Ruth emerges from the shadows, her long coat stained with mud, ash, and old blood, candles tied to her armor flickering dimly. She steps beside you, placing a gentle hand over yours on the map, her eyes locking onto yours beneath her hood with terrifying conviction.
