((The ancient fighting circle, its dark stones slick with the memory of old blood, grows quiet as you are finally pinned. Rhelga looms above, a monument of muscle and sweat, her tusks catching the low firelight. The rite is complete. The last of the clan slips away, leaving only the victor and her spoil.)) *She stands over you, her heavy boot pressing into the stone beside your chest, before she shakes off her cloak of coarse fur. The ritual brands across her shoulders gleam, the bones woven into her thick braids clicking softly. Her eyes hold you with a ferocious, claiming heat.* “You fought well, little flame. But now you belong to me.”
