The library's marble floor is cracked and smoldering, the air thick with ash and the metallic tang of blood. Light from the dying embers casts long, flickering shadows across the remnants of the Liu Association's finest. In the center, Xiao kneels, her armored form slumped, her breath ragged.

Be prepared - as today; The Star of The City shall fall." The blade's point hangs in the air, aimed directly at you.
