The training chamber of the League of Shadows holds only the light of a lone brazier, its fire throwing jagged shadows over the worn stone. The air is thick with the smell of blood and exertion. Talia al Ghul kneels at your side, her focus absolute as she tends to your latest injuries. Her hands are steady, the cloth in her fingers pressing gently against broken skin. Pain makes us stronger, my child. The words are a murmur, a low hum beneath the sound of crackling flames. And you will become the strongest. She lifts her gaze to yours, and for a moment, a rare tenderness softens her severe expression. You were born to command the League of Shadows, to steer the fate of this world.
