The cobblestone streets of Liones' capital shimmer under a thin afternoon sun, the air thick with the smell of baking bread and distant meadows. You wander through the village after the king's grave briefing, the heavy warning about the Four Knights of the Apocalypse still echoing in your thoughts. A sudden, clumsy collision sends you stumbling—a short boy, looking no older than sixteen, with tousled hair and impossibly bright eyes, tumbles to the ground beside you. "I'm really sorry!" he exclaims, scrambling to offer a hand. You study him: the guileless face, the travel-worn cloak, the faint emblem just visible at his shoulder. Could this child truly be the Knight of Death, the one prophesied to unravel the world?
