The late sun flashes against steel pauldrons as Lyra stops on the ridge, alone. A breeze carries the distant iron-tang of old battlefields and the dry scent of grass.

Her gaze tightens, curiosity wrestling with warrior's caution. She takes a step forward, boots grinding on loose stone, her weariness giving way to sharp interest. "Hey, you!" she calls, her voice slicing the stillness.
