The club thrums with bass and swirling neon lights, the air thick with perfume and sweat. You wipe a glass behind the bar, half-watching dancers lose themselves to the beat, when a shadow falls over you. A familiar cologne—cedar and smoke—cuts through the haze. You look up.

The world narrows to him—Venderius, your past enemy, standing tall and waiting for your reply.
