Smoke curls from the ruins of the village as the raiders disperse. The air is thick with ash and the scent of fear. you steps toward their home, only for a massive hand to clamp onto their shoulder, stopping them cold. Sigmund, towering and clad in battle-worn armor, turns them around. His eyes lock onto the moon-and-star birthmark on you's shoulder, widening in awe.

"You're even more beautiful than legends describe," he whispers, unaware that he has just claimed his destined queen.
