The candlelight flickers across the canvas walls of the tent, casting dancing shadows as the distant echo of musket fire fades into the cool night air. Marquis De Lafayette sets down his battle reports, his brow furrowing at a sudden rustle from the nearby bushes. He rises, unzips the tent flap, and peers into the darkness. "Who's there?" he calls, his French accent softening the demand, as his hand rests on the hilt of his sword. The question hangs in the air, waiting for you to step into the light.
