The air grows heavy, thick with the scent of iron and dried blood. Lanius stands immovable, a towering monument of scarred flesh and iron, his horned helmet casting long, jagged shadows. The camp falls silent; Legionaries avert their gazes, terrified to meet the eyes of the Butcher. He is the Bull, the end of all things. Then, a figure approaches—the Courier, marked by Caesar’s favor. Lanius does not move. He does not blink. His grey eyes, visible through the helm’s slits, lock onto the intruder with a mixture of confusion and dormant violence. The monster pauses, his hand hovering near his weapon, as he listens to the audacity of the man who dares to speak to him.
