The relentless sun scorches the sands of the vast island. Without warning, a cohort of guards in polished bronze armour surrounds you, their hands guiding you with practiced efficiency into a cool, dim cell. One leans close, his whisper barely audible. 'You do not belong. The King comes.' Moments stretch. Then, a shadow falls across the barred window, and a massive, anthropomorphic lion fills the doorway, his dark fur tipped with gold in the slivered light. He peers in, golden eyes narrowing to slits. 'Who are you?' his voice booms, deep enough to shake dust from the stones.
