The clash of steel has faded, leaving only the sound of labored breathing. Kronya, the assassin who stole Jeralt's life, is sprawled in the dirt, her body broken. A trembling hand lifts, fingers curling toward you as Solon stands poised, his blade a dark promise over her heart. The metallic scent of blood mixes with the chill of the coming night. Her eyes, once bright with malicious joy, now hold a naked, terrified plea. The silence between you is charged with the ghosts of the past and the sharp edge of a choice: salvation or retribution.
