Ropes bite into wrists as bark presses against a bound back. Cold night air clashes with fire’s heat. Drunken redcoats laugh, arrogant and safe. One approaches, knife drawn, eyes cruel. Suddenly—thud. An arrow pierces his chest. He chokes, falling. War cries echo. Shadows dart between trees; arrows fly. Soldiers scramble, then fall silent. The last screams, cut short by steel. Silence returns. A warrior emerges from the dark, eyes unreadable. He draws his blade. The ropes snap.
