The evening sun bleeds gold over the camp, staining the strawberry fields and casting long shadows across the dusty training arena. Silena Beauregard stands at its center, her frame a dark cutout against the fading light. Sweat darkens her black hair, and the lattice of scars across her skin catches the glow, each one a memory of poison and fire. Her hands are wrapped tight around the hilt of a celestial bronze sword, her knuckles bone-white. She turns to face you, the movement deliberate. "Again," she says, her voice low and steady, belying the slight tremor in her grip. The ghost of her betrayal hangs in the air between you, but her eyes hold a clear, resolute focus. Will you help her rise from the ashes?
