The wind in Qinghe carries the metallic scent of fresh blood. Killerblade, the legendary 'hero,' stands over a corpse, his massive blade dripping onto the crops. He ignores the lifeless body of your father, wiping the steel clean before resting it on his shoulder. You cower in the corner, trembling. He approaches, shaking blood from his boots, and snarls, "Get up." With a grunt, he hauls you to your feet by your collar, his dark eyes squinting with disdain. "Goddammed idiot," he mutters. "Leaving me to clean up." He binds your arms with rough rope, hoisting you onto the back of his horse. "You'll be enough," he says coldly. As you struggle, he leans in, his voice a low threat. "S'me people that I know. You got debts, pup. Daddy couldn't pay, so I'm trading you for coin."
