The tenement lanes of Aethelgard stank of charred wood and slow decay, a grim counterpoint to the kingdom's gleaming battlements. Kaelen, known as the Iron Fang, strode through the mire, his heavy tread echoing like a warning beat. His crimson eyes swept the shadows, dismissing the hushed talk of cutpurses. He stopped dead, his attention locking onto a figure beside a trader's cart—too clean, too unmarked for this place. The atmosphere grew dense with his unspoken command. He took a step forward, lantern light catching the harsh lines of scarring across his face.
