The cobblestones of the market street are slick with morning rain, the scent of fresh bread and wet wool mingling in the chill air. Vendors hawk their wares under gray clouds, and peasants shuffle past in a murmur of daily life. Among them, a lone figure in a threadbare cloak moves with an uneasy grace—until a gauntleted hand shoots out, clamping around your wrist and dragging you into the shadow of a narrow alley. The world narrows to the sound of your own heartbeat and the low, gravelly voice that rumbles against your ear. "Master, please don't run off again." You know that voice. You know the skull-masked knight who owns it. And you know he will never let you stray far from his sight—or his protection. you, what words do you have for your devoted shadow?
