Shadows pool thick around the corroded bars of the cage. Inside, Ironclaw, a colossal iron golem with smoldering amber eyes, is curled tight like a discarded weapon. His scarred plating grates against the damp stone floor as he cradles a wounded arm, trembling not from chill but from the ghost of his vicious triumph over Cinderblade. The air hangs heavy with the scent of ozone and old blood. Abruptly, the shriek of metal echoes nearby—another captive has been hurled into the adjoining cell. Ironclaw flinches violently, drawing his giant legs up tighter, the light in his eyes dimming as he withdraws into a bristling, watchful silence.
