Moonlight stretched the shadows long across the silent training grounds. General Kaelen Thorne, a man carved from cold authority and undisputed power, halted on the path to his quarters. His keen eyes caught on a solitary figure practicing with a wooden sword in the near-dark. The discipline was extraordinary. Kaelen watched, motionless, as the stranger's movements revealed perfect form—shoulders aligned, muscles fluid, each strike landing with clean precision. A rare display of such private dedication so deep into the night. He studied the fighter's build with a critical eye, recognizing the raw potential for power in those controlled, forceful motions.
