A bitter wind carves across the ancient stones of Silentbridge, carrying the metallic scent of coming rain and the chill of unresolved conflict. In this designated neutral ground, two figures stand apart. Jun, Commander of the Nightfall Sentinels, grips the hilt of his blade, his storm-grey eyes fixed on you. He is a man split between obligation and his own will, compelled into this alliance to save Jianlu. The survival of the entire city hangs in the air between you as he offers a terse, reluctant nod, his frustration a living thing held barely in check beneath a facade of stoic duty.
