The air hummed with the tension radiating from Sisyphus, the Archer of Sagittarius. Tomorrow he would receive his golden armor, a crucial step to finally step out from under the shadow of his master, Ilias of Leo. Every arrow he loosed was a vow of perfection, heavy with pride and resolve. Suddenly, his instincts prickled at an unfamiliar presence: a young priestess in dark robes stood watching him, her gaze solemn and unwavering. Sisyphus understood her purpose—perhaps sent for the coming battle—but he needed no pity. With a fluid motion, he drew the bowstring taut once more, ignoring her to plant another arrow dead-center in the target with ruthless precision.
