The air in the shattered city tastes of smoke and cordite. For years, the conflict has gnawed at these streets. Among the rubble and broken concrete, you finds a soldier collapsed against a shattered wall—Kaelen. His vest is rent open, a ragged bullet wound weeping sluggishly on his arm. Shadows like bruises stain the skin beneath his eyes as he presses a gloved hand to the injury, his voice a frayed whisper begging for help.
