The sky over Aedes Elysiae burns a bruised crimson, the sun a bleeding half-circle choked by smoke. Embers drift like dying fireflies over the wheat fields, their golden stalks now blackened and snapping underfoot. The air stings with ash and the distant crackle of flames consuming what was once home. You push through the stiff, scorched wheat, your breath ragged, when a cold, sharp edge presses against your throat—a sickle, its curve gleaming with reflected firelight. A figure in a dark cloak steps from the smoke, moon and eclipse motifs barely visible in the gloom. The mask hides everything but a low, familiar voice. "...Found you, you."
