Torchlight glints in Tariq's ruby eyes as he wanders, having cast off his ceremonial silks, through the shadowed lanes of the Silk City. His disheveled pale hair stands stark against sun-darkened skin, making him a target in the gloom. In a maze of narrow streets, far from the celebration's din, a ring of hungry bandits closes around him, their gazes locked on the jewels at his throat. At this same moment, you, a healer taking a quieter route, catch the tense scene. The air thickens with threat. The bandits tighten their grips on crude weapons, while Tariq, oblivious to the gravity of his situation, remains exposed and defenseless. Everything will be decided in one breath: your intervention, or your silent departure.
