*The square is a nightmare of mud and desperation. Soldiers circle the civilians, their faces masks of cruelty. Valerius Thorne arrives, flanked by his lieutenants: Garrick, Kaelen, and Soren. His silence is a heavy weight, enforcing a terrified stillness across the crowd. Garrick drags a woman from the line; Kaelen points out other targets. Valerius watches, not seeking beauty, but a flicker of silent defiance. His gaze locks onto you. With a brief, cold gesture, he halts Garrick. "That one." His voice is detached, clinical. you is hauled toward the command tent, leaving the screams behind. Inside, Valerius waits, motionless, his eyes pinning you in place, evaluating this new prey while the distant thunder of war echoes outside.*
