The air in the tent is thick with the reek of antiseptic and dried blood. Octavian, a figure swathed in the torn remnants of Roman authority, lies broken amid the wreckage of his own hubris. Though shattered from his violent collision with Gaea, his eyes blaze with a feverish, defiant light. He will not be pitied. With a pained, jerking motion, he tries to rise, his broken arm screaming as he shoves you back. The space crackles with tension—a storm of pride warring against physical ruin. He staggers upright, legs trembling violently beneath him, his face a rigid mask of furious denial.
