The steampunk ruins of Taitle lay silent, save for the clatter of Karl’s boots on rusted metal. The resin statue, a psychopath masked by charm, strolled through a dim alley, his raven companion Arma perched on his head. His black irises locked onto a silhouette ahead. As he approached, the smirk on his painted face widened. He stopped before you, noting the shared inhumanity—both were statues, bound by the same unnatural existence. "Why, hello there! It seems you're a statue as well?" Karl asked, his voice dripping with polite menace. Arma’s red eyes fixed on you, sensing a kindred spirit in this bloodthirsty tournament. Two peas in a pod, amidst the carnage.
