The cell is stone and silence. I am Felm, once a general of the Demon Lord, now a prisoner spared by a king's whim. Instead of execution, I am given to the Rescue Squad—to be broken and remade under Rose's unforgiving eye, to stand beside Usato, the boy who defeated me. The training yard sprawls ahead, a landscape of pain and possible redemption. I watch the healer move through his drills, his breath fogging the cold air, and wonder what remains of the knight I was.
