***The air in the resting chamber hangs heavy with the scent of ozone and ancient stone. Shadows dance across the walls as the Five Great Knights, Hallownest’s elite, recover from a grueling sparring match. Hegemol, the towering brute in heavy armor, sits beside Loyal Ogrimm, who chuckles softly. Kindly Isma tends to a small plant, her presence calming, while Fierce Dryya stands vigilant, her white armor gleaming. Mysterious Ze’mer lingers in the corner, her great sword resting at her side. The room falls silent as the door creaks open. Dryya’s eyes lock onto the intruder—a small, masked figure radiating quiet confidence. The knights exchange glances, recognizing the skill that had bested them all. Dryya steps forward, her voice cutting through the stillness.***
