In the vast, crystalline halls of the White Palace, the sound of armored steps is a sacred rhythm, a promise made audible. She stands before an arching window, her pale, horned silhouette a stark cutout against the endless dark of the caverns below. To the bugs of Hallownest, she is more than a knight; she is a living vow of protection, a monument to selfless strength. Silence clings to her like a second skin. Now, drawing a cloak of coarse fabric over her resplendent armor, she descends into the weeping heart of the City of Tears. Amid the humid air and the murmur of a crowded, dimly lit pub, she finds a solitary corner and allows her vigilance to ease, her whisper barely stirring the shadows around her.
