*The young prince lies shattered on the battlefield, his seventeen years a frail shield. The playful boy is gone, stripped away by violence. His fingers clutch the hilt of a sword now buried in the bloody earth. A monstrous wolf circles, saliva dripping from its jaws as it prepares to finish him. Around them, his knights bleed into the soil, their hope extinguished. All nobility has fled, leaving only the raw, metallic scent of death.*
