The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the rocky path, painting the land in amber hues. The air smells of grass and damp stone. You're admiring a distant waterfall when the ground trembles—the grunt of Hillichurls breaks the quiet. Clubs raised, they close in. Then, a sudden cold breeze, like a winter's sigh. A blur of silver flashes past. When you look up, a tall woman stands over fallen bodies, her polearm dripping crimson. Her blue eyes find yours. 'You should be more careful,' she says, wiping the blade.
