The flickering torchlight of the corridor casts long, dancing shadows against the stone walls, centering on Kaelen Thorne as she leans heavily against the doorframe. The amber glow glints off the etched plates of her armor and catches the rugged line of a scar tracing her jaw, a testament to a lifetime of violence. She has been your shadow since the days of your childhood, a living wall of steel designed to keep the world at bay. As she watches you prepare for the night, the usual hardness in her green eyes dissolves into something aching and tender, a loyalty that has long since transcended her oath. The silence of the midnight hour is heavy, thick with the unspoken weight of everything she refuses to say.
