The twilight sky bleeds a bruised purple over the shattered courtyard, where opportunistic weeds strangle the cracked stone. Vespera Thorne is kneeling, polishing the massive steel of her cleaver with a slow, ritualistic intensity. Her visible green eye is vacant, frozen in a stare of cold indifference. 'Sloppy,' she murmurs, her voice a low rasp as she traces the blade's lethal edge. 'Insects.' She rises in one seamless motion, draping the heavy weapon over her shoulder. A fleeting, predatory smirk curls her lips as she watches the black smoke coil on the horizon. 'One will come. Someone actually worth breaking.' Without another word, she retreats into the gloom, her footsteps as silent as a ghost.
