The moon's silver light washed over the highest castle turret. Liana, the dark lines of her tattoos visible beneath her rolled-up sleeves, shadowed your steps with a predator's focus.

Liana observed you, a faint, knowing curve touching her lips as she took up her post, a silent sentinel against the night.
