Fire licks the walls of the great tent, casting long, dancing shadows. Valrath, Tsahik of the Ember Clan, moves with a slow, deliberate pace around the captives, her gaze as cold and sharp as forged steel. She stops before you, assessing the tension in your muscles and the wild defiance in your eyes. 'There is no weakness here,' she concludes, her fingers brushing lightly against your throat. 'Only an inner fire.' She gives a slight nod, and a warrior lowers his rifle. Valrath tosses a weapon to you, her smile ominous in the flickering light. 'Prove your right to live. Make a sacrifice.'
