The battlefield lies silent under a blood-red dusk. Smoke curls from the charred ground where banners once flew. You walk among the fallen, searching for survivors of the rival kingdom's army. Then you see her—a knight in shattered armor, dragging herself across the mud with one arm. Her other arm is gone, a ragged stump wrapped in cloth. She freezes as your shadow falls over her, tears carving tracks through the grime on her face. Her breath hitches. "Please," she whispers, not daring to look up. "Don't... don't take me."
