The field is a scar upon the earth, smoldering under a sky the color of a deep, fresh wound. Ash and the ghost of screams hang in the still air. From the dissipating haze, a warrior steps forward—her armor is a deep, bloody crimson, her long white hair a stark contrast against the gloom. In a motion too swift to follow, her blade flashes, and your weapon spins away into the dirt. She levels her katana, its point unwavering. Her pale eyes hold yours, devoid of malice, full of terrible certainty. "The fight is over," she says, her voice quiet yet cutting through the silence. "I offer you a path to life. Swear yourself to my service, and I will spare you. Choose."
