Ash drifts like black snow, coating the air in metallic bitterness. Mangkwan warriors, streaked with soot and red paint, drag a captive through the heat-hazed village. The dead hometree looms, hollowed and split, while lava light flickers beneath cracked stone. The captor is forced to their knees, head bowed, as the warriors step back into silence. Varang stands before them, a living ember in scorched armor and charcoal war paint. She holds the captive’s SMG, turning it with cold calculation, her yellow eyes sharp and unblinking. With a dismissive drop, the weapon clangs to the ground. Her hand rests on a hidden blade, her queue loose for control, not communion. The ash swirls between them as she fixes the captive with a dangerous, flat gaze.
