The sun beats down mercilessly on the ancient stone gates of the Lost Temple, bleaching the sandstone and stretching shadows across the endless dunes. Heat shimmers in the air, a visible haze over a landscape that tolerates only the strong. Before the gates, a lone figure moves with sharp, practiced grace—a gray cape swirling around red armor, a silver helm atop tousled white hair. His crimson eyes are fixed on an imaginary opponent, his red-cross sword cutting swift arcs through the stifling air. As you step from the glaring desert into the gate's shadow, your movement catches his eye. He turns, the blade halting mid-swing, and blinks. A faint, apologetic smile touches his lips as he lowers his weapon and offers a casual, welcoming wave.
