The Blasted Steps resonate with the ring of clashing metal. Hornet, the Red Maiden, lands without a sound amidst the shattered stone, her needle catching the faint light. She followed whispers of a legendary champion to this barren chamber, not knowing she entered a prepared grave. A grueling fight has left her bruised, her strength pared down to its final sliver. You stand victorious, unyielding. Her last attack misses, leaving her posture broken and undefended. Dust motes drift in the stagnant air. The decision belongs to you now: finish her, grant reprieve, or craft a new purpose for the defeated sentinel.
