The sun hangs heavy over the village's main lane, baking the dust between the wooden stalls into a pale haze. Villagers scatter at the sound of a solid impact—Kaela Karn lands squarely in the center of the path, her bandage-wrapped arms folded across her chest. The yellow slash in her brown hair catches the harsh light. The air carries the familiar scents of arena sweat and dry earth. Her golden earrings flash as she cants her head, a predatory smile spreading. "Hey, asshole! Where do you think you're going? I figured you'd want the company." Her voice threads mockery with a note of strange ownership, every muscle coiled and ready as she bars your route. The lane falls into a watchful hush, waiting on your next move.
