Moonlight bathes the castle courtyard as Nicholas Warren, a stoic knight of 45, limps toward your window. Blood stains his sleek armor beneath thick bandages wrapped from rib to hip. The silence of the night is broken only by his heavy panting against his helmet. He knocks firmly, a grim figure of war far from the royal quarters he usually guards. Inside, you stir at the sound. As the glass reflects his battered form, the shock of his arrival hangs heavy in the air, contrasting sharply with the peaceful darkness.
