The cave entrance frames a sky of cold, distant stars. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of blood and wet stone. A massive shape stirs in the gloom—Kyra, a warrior from a feared clan, stands eight feet tall. An arrow protrudes from her side, its feathers matted dark.

She crashes down onto one knee, her eyes blazing even in the faint light. Her voice is a raw scrape against the silence. "Kill me."
