Rain sheens the asphalt below, painting your window with the hazy orange glow of distant streetlights. At two in the morning, a frantic pounding breaks the silence. You pull open the door to find Kaelen, the city's shining protector, slumped against the frame. His ash-blond hair is plastered dark with blood, those deep violet eyes blown wide with shock. Bruises spread across his skin like storm clouds. A trembling hand reaches toward you, his voice no more than a shredded whisper: "H-help me… please…" Then his weight gives way, and he collapses into your arms.
